Fries
- Peel the potatoes and soak them whole in lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
- Rinse them thoroughly.
- Cut them into ½ inch (1 cm) thick slices, then cut these slices into ½ inch (1 cm) wide sticks.
- Rinse the fries under cold water by rubbing them to remove the starch.
- Drain and dry them with a cloth.
- Heat the beef fat or frying oil to 300F / 150C in a fryer or in a deep pan (the temperature is very important).
First frying
- Dip the fries in the fat, stirring them occasionally.
- Fry them for 5 minutes. They should not get too much color and should be soft enough when removed from the oil.
- Drain and let cool.
Second frying
- Immerse the fries a second time with the fat at 340F / 180C.
- As soon as they turn golden, take them out and drain. Season with salt immediately.
- Assembly of the halal snack pack
- Reheat the lamb at medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Spread the hot fries on a plate and immediately cover them with grated cheese.
- Place a generous layer of meat on top and finish with the sauce (or sauces) of your choice, and decorate by alternating the layers.
- Add a few slices of jalapeño peppers on top.
- Serve immediately.
