1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fries.

3
Melt Duck Fat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, add the duck fat and heat it over medium heat until fully melted and hot, but not smoking.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato sticks into the hot duck fat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the duck fat and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Immediately sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika while they are still hot.

6
Serve Hot
Serve the duck fat fries hot as a delicious side or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
