The Best Homemade French Fries. Ever.
Ingredients
Potatoes (I use 4-5 Yukon Golds for my small family)
Cold water (optional)
Beef Tallow OR Lard
Sea Salt (I use
this one
)
Cook Mode
Prevent your screen from going dark
Instructions
Cut potatoes (peeled or unpeeled) into sticks or wedges
Place potato sticks in a bowl
Cover with cold water
Allow potatoes to soak for about one hour.
When ready to fry, place enough beef tallow in deep stockpot to equal 3-4 inches when melted
Heat to approximately 350 degrees
Remove potatoes from the water
Pat dry (a clean kitchen towel works)
Carefully place some of the potato sticks into hot oil
You’ll need to do several, smaller batches for best results
It takes 5-10 minutes per batch, depending how thickly cut they are and how crunchy you like them (I like softer fries, hubby prefers crunchy)
Stir occasionally and watch for that lovely shade of golden brown
Taste-test
Once finished, remove from hot oil and place on paper-towel lined baking sheet
Generously toss with sea salt and serve immediately
