Duck Fat Oven Fries
Duck Fat Oven Fries are the ultimate side dish for grilled steaks, burgers or any gourmet dinner. Rustic fries tossed with duck fat to make the most crispy and delicious french fries.
We collected the delicious duck fat after making a grilled duck a few weeks ago. We used the duck fat to make Duck Fat Ribeye Steaks and fries for a gourmet restaurant meal at home.

Recipe Tips and Notes:
- Yield: 6 Servings
- Substitute for Duck Fat: Olive oil, bacon grease or vegetable oil will also work for these oven fries.
- Storage: Fries are best served fresh. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Reheat fries in an air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 370° or in a 400° oven on a sheet pan for 8- 10 minutes.
Duck Fat:
Duck fat adds amazing flavor to these fries and is so good to sear a steak. Refrigerate for months or freeze up to a year. Substitute duck fat in recipes for clarified butter or olive oil.

Sounds delicious, but I’m curious as to what the dips are and how to make them, or are they storebought?
Hi Deb,
Thanks so much. I served these fries with store bought ketchup, homemade honey mustard sauce and homemade blooming onion sauce. If you scroll through the post, just below the photo of the fry dipping into the sauce, there’s a list of the sauces with links to the recipes.
