Duck Fat Steak Fries

Recipesfull introduces to you: Potato Side Dish Recipes. (Duck Fat Steak Fries). You know a potato side dish is going to be good when 75% of the name refers to fat or meat. These super-crusty, oven-fried potato wedges, or ‘steak fries' as they call them where I'm from, are done with rendered duck fat, and while I'm a big fan of ones done with olive oil and/or butter, these really are better.
