Equipment

  • therm

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes about 6 medium, scrubbed, dried, and cut into 1/4-inch by 1/4 inch batons
  • 6 cups vegetable oil 1/4 cup duck fat optional
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven combine the potatoes, oil, and duck fat (if using). Cook over high heat, without stirring, until the oil has reached a rolling boil, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the potatoes are limp but exteriors are beginning to firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Using tongs, stir potatoes, gently scraping up any that stick to the bottom of the pan, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crisp, about 5-10 minutes longer. Transfer fries to a paper towel lined paper bag and season with salt. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
