Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 russet potatoes, peeled
- ½ cup beef tallow
- Coarse sea salt, to taste
- ¼ cup Furikake seasoning
Sriracha Mayo
- ½ cup sriracha sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into fries of your desired thickness. Rinse the cut fries under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.
- Heat the Beef Tallow: In a large heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer, heat the ½ cup of beef tallow over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), suitable for deep frying.
- Fry the Potatoes: Carefully add the potato fries to the hot beef tallow in batches to prevent overcrowding. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain the fries on paper towels.
- Season the Fries: While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and toss with the ¼ cup of Furikake seasoning to evenly coat the fries with its savory, umami flavor.
- Make the Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sriracha sauce with ¼ cup mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth to create a creamy, spicy dipping sauce.
- Serve: Arrange the seasoned fries on a serving platter and serve alongside the sriracha mayo for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Every truck in Oahu has its own spin on street fries; this recipe reflects a popular local favorite using beef tallow and Furikake.
- Beef tallow imparts a rich, beefy flavor that makes the fries extra crispy and deliciously savory.
- For healthier options, you can bake the fries, but deep-frying in beef tallow is essential for authentic texture and taste.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the mayo to control the spice level to your preference.
