Ingredients:

• 6 cups diced peeled potatoes
• 8 slices bacon
• 2 small onion, diced
• ½ cup vinegar, we used A Porter Beer Malt Vinegar from American Vinegar Works
• 4 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Place potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover by at least 1 to 2 inches; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Leave bacon grease in the skillet.
4. Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.
5. Once boiling, add potatoes, and 1/2 of the crumbled bacon. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Transfer warm potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle remaining crumbled bacon over top. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Ingredients:

• Olive oil
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 4 onions, sliced thin
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 tbsp flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1-2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
• 1-2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
• Cracked black pepper
• Salt, if needed, broth is usually salty enough

Directions:

• Add the butter in your dutch oven over medium-low and wait until hot, add onions and spray with Duck Fat Cooking Spray. You want to cook these slowly so they don’t burn and become caramelized instead. This should take about 20 minutes.
• Add the flour and stir to coat the onions. Add the wine and let cook down. Add the beef stock, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Let cook 45 minutes on low.
• To serve, I top with shaved asiago cheese because it doesn’t make like a lump of cheese that you have to bite through. Throw in some croutons to soften in the broth or dip with fresh bread.

Ingredients:

• Beef Tallow or Vegetable oil, about 4 cups or as needed
• 2 pounds floury potatoes, the older the better, as they'll have developed more starch

1. Peel the potatoes, wash them, and pat dry.
2. Cut them with a knife into batons, roughly 1 inch thick
3. Heat the cooking fat in your pot till it reaches 285 degrees
4. In batches, so as not to overcrowd the cry, cook the fries until they're soft when pierced, but not yet browned. This should take about 5 minutes.

6. Once ready to serve, heat the oil in your fryer to 356 degrees. Cook fries in batches for a few minutes until they're nicely browned. Salt to taste and eat immediately.
