  1. 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

  2. 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!
