Crispy, golden, and loaded with rich flavor—these French fries take things up a notch by swapping vegetable oil for premium beef tallow. The result? Fries that are crunchier, tastier, and packed with a savory depth you just can’t get from regular oils.
Why Beef Tallow?
Beef tallow isn’t just any fat—it’s a clean, stable cooking oil with a naturally rich umami flavor. Unlike vegetable oils, it enhances every bite with an old-fashioned, authentic taste. Once you try fries in beef tallow, you may never go back.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (russets recommended for extra crispiness)
- 24 oz TallowRise Premium Beef Tallow
- Coarse salt, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Potatoes – Cut potatoes into thin, even fries. Not shoestring-thin, but just enough surface area for maximum crispiness while keeping a fluffy interior.
- Heat the Tallow – In a cast iron skillet or deep pan, melt the beef tallow over medium-high heat until it reaches frying temperature (around 350°F).
- Fry the Potatoes – Carefully add the fries in small batches, cooking until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain & Season – Remove fries from the pan, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle generously with coarse salt.
- Enjoy – Serve hot and fresh!
