Steps:
- Peel the sides of the potatoes but leave some skin on the ends. As you peel, place the potatoes in a bowl filled with cool water. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks (1/8-inch square) and place back into the bowl of clean cool water. Allow the potatoes to sit for 1 hour, changing the water as it becomes cloudy to remove the starch.
- Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven or deep skillet to 325 degrees F.
- Drain the potatoes and dry well with paper towels. Carefully add the potatoes to the oil, in batches if necessary, and cook until they just lose their opaque look and are starting to firm up, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
- Heat the duck fat in a heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F; ideally you want the duck fat 3 to 4 inches deep.
- Carefully add the fries to the duck fat and cook until crispy and evenly golden, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with the sea salt or truffle salt.
- Cook's Note: Strain the duck fat through a fine mesh strainer and transfer to a glass container. Keep refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.
ROBBY'S DRYDOCK FRIES
Leggy Peggy told me I had to post more of Robby's secrets...so here's one of my favorite appetizers. The steak fries are drenched in a wonderful roast beef gravy (with a few tidbits of beef) and a yummy cheese sauce. Simple but scrumptious!!! Make this when you have leftover roast beef and gravy.

Steps:
- You can always use frozen potatoes (baked), canned beef gravy (heated), and canned cheese sauce (heated) but it will be much better if you don't go that route and actually use the home-made stuff.
- To assemble: Place steak fries on an oblong plate, cover with beef gravy (it's even better if there are bits of beef thrown in) and cheese sauce.
- Give everyone a fork and knife and let them eat right off the platter. It's great fun! (:.
CAST IRON HOME FRIES
Steps:
- Heat grill to high. Brush potatoes halves, onion slices, peppers, and chiles with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill potatoes and onions for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat, cut each potato half in half again, and finely chop the onions.
- Grill peppers and chiles until charred on all sides. Remove from the grill, place in a bowl, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes. Remove skin and finely dice.
- Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet on the grates of the grill. Add the potatoes, onions, peppers, and chiles all in 1 layer and pack down. Cook until crisp and nicely browned.
OLD BAY® FRIES
My version of our local Chickie & Pete's Restaurant Crab Fries. No crab meat is in the recipe, just the seasoning. These were created for the customers missing crabs in the months crabs were not available.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Toss French fries and oil together in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning and toss to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 35 to 45 minutes.
- While fries are baking, make the cheese sauce by combining milk and seafood seasoning in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Add cheese when milk begins to steam and little bubbles begin to form around the edges. Stir gently and frequently until all cheese is melted. Serve immediately on the side as a dipping sauce with hot fries.

AIR FRYER FROZEN FRENCH FRIES
Straight out of the freezer and better than fast food fries without the guilt of deep-frying. Feel free to use your preferred frozen French fry cut but keep in mind that steak-cut or crinkle will take a couple minutes longer.

Steps:
- Cut potatoes into curly fries using a curly fry cutter, or cut potatoes into regular fries.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put potatoes in boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Rinse potatoes off in a colander with cold water. Dry potatoes with paper towels and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. When oven lets you know you are at the correct temperature, combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, flour and egg substitute in a small bowl. Add in milk and mix well.
- Pour fries into a large bowl and add seasoning mixture. Mix well. Dump fries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread around evenly (so they aren't overlapping).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping every ten minutes so they become nice and crispy.
Tips:
- Use fresh potatoes: Fresh potatoes will yield the best results, as they will be more flavorful and have a higher starch content, which will help them to crisp up nicely.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them to crisp up.
- Use a high-quality oil: A high-quality oil, such as canola oil or vegetable oil, will help the fries to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Heat the oil to the proper temperature: The oil should be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potatoes.
- Fry the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the fries from cooking evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: Season the fries with salt and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
These are just a few tips for making perfect dry dock fries. With a little practice, you can make fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Enjoy!
