Ingredients

bacon fat, enough to cover bottom of skillet - about 1/4 cup
6 - 7 medium russet potatoes - or really any potato would work - i just happened to use russets
1 medium bermuda onion - cut in half, then into quarters and sliced
1 Tbsp approx - creole seasoning
1 Tbsp garlic pepper seasoning
1 1/2 Tbsp chunky garlic paste - or minced garlic from jar
vegetable oil - to finish browning as needed

Steps:

1. I washed and dried potatoes. Cut a slice into the tops of each and microwaved for 10 minutes. You want them cooked, but not mushy as you will be cutting them into chunks. Once cool enough to handle. Cut each potato into. Depending how big the potato is, cut each halve 2 - 3 times lengthwise, then cut into cubes crosswise. I use my iron skillet for fried potatoes. Any non stick skillet will work. Pour enough bacon fat into pan to cover bottom. Heat the fat over medium. Once good and hot, add the potatoes and onion. Sprinkle the top evenly with creole seasoning and garlic pepper. Add dollops of the garlic paste here and there. Let potatoes start browning, turning occasionally and adding vegetable oil as needed. The potatoes will soak up the initial bacon fat. So, just keep adding a little oil here and there as needed until potatoes are desired crispness. Salt if needed - I didn't.
2. Serve immediately as a side to any meat. Are great as a side to eggs as well. I served along side of my: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/crispy-soy-honey-thighs.html

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for French fries, as they have a high starch content and low sugar content. This results in fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1/4-inch thick and 1-inch long.
Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying: This will help them crisp up. Pat them dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner.
Heat the oil to the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying French fries is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is too hot, the fries will burn. If it is too cold, they will not cook through.
Fry the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the fries will not cook evenly. Fry the potatoes in batches of no more than 10-12 fries at a time.
Cook the fries until they are golden brown: This will take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Season the fries immediately: While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

French fries are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make at home, and with a little practice, you can make perfect fries every time. Just follow these tips and you will be sure to impress your family and friends with your culinary skills.
