Method
Preparation

Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Cooking
- 3
Heat the Duck Fat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the duck fat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy frites.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato sticks to the hot duck fat in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.

Drain and Season
Once fried, use a slotted spoon to transfer the frites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. While still hot, sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
