Growing up McD's had the best fries...it was because of this.
Absolutely! Funny thing is that french fries made in beef fat has half the calories as french fries fried in vegetable oil. So the other calories come from...yes, greasy vegetable oil that soaks into the fries. Potato’s don’t soak up the saturated beef fat like they do unsaturated vegetable oil.
I fry some potatoes in beef tallow at home and the kids think it is some sort of alien ambrosia food! You can buy it on amazon and you don’t have to use much, just sauté some frozen fries or fresh cut potatoes and they come out great.
