Beef Tallow Fried Potatoes

Fun fact: McDonald’s fries in part got so popular because they fried them in beef tallow. After years of being nagged by the American Heart Association, they finally made the switch to vegetable oil in 1990. I hear they’re still mad about it! In recent years, it has now come to light that beef tallow is in fact far healthier than vegetable oil, which wreaks havoc on our systems. So give this original fry a try, your body and taste buds will thank you.

Ingredients

• 3-4 red potatoes 
• beef tallow
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• green onions or chives
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, add to generously salted cold water and boil until fork tender.
2. Heat a generous amount of beef tallow in a pan and add the potatoes, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
3. Continue to fry, adding more beef tallow when needed. Make sure the crispy pieces are brown, not burned.
4. Sprinkle a handful of chives or green onions on top of the plated potatoes.
