Dang!! Now I wish I saved the fat from the duck I roasted at Thanksgiving. I could have made those fries. Well I guess that means I’ve got to roast another duck at Christmas. ;-D
Holy awesome-sauce. I admit, I’m not much of a deep-fryer — I tend to just order it or go to someone else’s house who has a fryer, because I know that oily smell can get everywhere. But I do want to try duck fat fries at some point, as this seems to be the holy grail of fried potato goodness!
Just wanted to say hello to my male name counterpart! I also have a duck fat fries recipe planned for my cookbook! Where did you buy the duck fat?

Duck fat huh, interesting! I love duck. I’ve never purposely used it though. This looks like a delicious and very guilt after consumption plate. I would totally devour this.
Congrats on another Top 9 my friend!
