    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the marinade.

  7. Cook the meat on the barbecue, in the pan or on a grill, over medium heat.

Fries
  1. Peel the potatoes and soak them whole in lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
  2. Rinse them thoroughly.
  3. Cut them into ½ inch (1 cm) thick slices, then cut these slices into ½ inch (1 cm) wide sticks.
  4. Rinse the fries under cold water by rubbing them to remove the starch.
  5. Drain and dry them with a cloth.

First frying
  1. Dip the fries in the fat, stirring them occasionally.

  3. Drain and let cool.
Second frying
  1. Immerse the fries a second time with the fat at 340F / 180C.
  2. As soon as they turn golden, take them out and drain. Season with salt immediately.
