Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 russet potatoes, peeled
- ½ cup beef tallow
- Coarse sea salt, to taste
- ¼ cup Furikake seasoning
Sriracha Mayo Sauce
- ½ cup sriracha sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the russet potatoes into even-sized fries to ensure uniform cooking. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
- Heat the Beef Tallow: In a large heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat the beef tallow over medium-high heat until fully melted and reaches about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
- Fry the Potatoes: Carefully add the potato fries in small batches to the hot beef tallow, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 8–10 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding to maintain oil temperature. Remove fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Season the Fries: While still hot, sprinkle the fries with coarse sea salt and toss with the furikake seasoning to evenly coat.
- Make the Sriracha Mayo Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the sriracha sauce and mayonnaise until smooth. Adjust quantities to taste if desired.
- Serve: Plate the fries and serve immediately with the sriracha mayo sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes

- For extra crispiness, soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before frying, then dry thoroughly.
- Adjust the sriracha mayo spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha used.
