Fries

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Kennebec or sweet potatoes. Cut them into thick fries, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them become crispier when cooked.

  3. 3

    Heat the Tallow

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the beef tallow over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked and drained fries to the hot tallow in batches, taking care not to crowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the pot and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cajun Remoulade

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, and hot sauce.

  2. 7

    Mix Well

    Stir all the ingredients together until well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 8

    Chill

    Cover the remoulade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
