    You put seasoning in a dutch oven and it makes fries? Must be an amazing dutch oven.

    You MUST have the aioli to go with it... It just doesn't work without it...

    Yea, it's an amazing dutch oven. If you need more explanation, I use Idaho potatoes, and a Northern Tool fry cutter, the restaurant grade.

    Double fry them. First at 325 til they are soft but not brown, then again at 365 til golden brown and crispy. Duck fat has a smoke point of 375, so be weary of going any higher. I would use just salt to season with since you are using duck fat. No need to mask the flavor, with a bunch of overpowering seasonings. If you want to get fancy you can toss them in some rosemary and garlic and have several dipping sauces, including an aioli. Just use low amounts of both because they can easily overpower the fat.

    Go to the Tattoed Moose down here in Charleston and try to replicate their duck fat fries, they are ridiculously good.

    I like to use a cheap electric fryer with temperature dial to keep it right at 375.

    I went to nice seafood place in charleston. Got this great sounding grouper dish that had everything I liked. It also had truffle oil. First and last time. Completely ruined it.

    Truffle oil is nasty, but it still tastes better than rails.

    FYI Fresh Market carries duck fat in the far corner of the dairy area. Cheaper than Amazon as well...

    Did the smell of potpourri and the sounds of gentle classical music enhance your shopping experience.
