At Shamrock, we believe that exceptional food begins with exceptional ingredients. While many restaurants rely on frozen, pre-processed fries cooked in highly refined vegetable oils, we’ve chosen to follow a wellness path. Our French fries are no exception–hand-cut from fresh potatoes and fried in real beef tallow, creating a richer flavor and a more authentic dining experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fresh-cut fries simply taste better. When potatoes are cut in-house rather than shipped frozen from a factory, they retain their natural flavor, texture, and quality. The result is a fry with a crisp exterior, fluffy interior, and genuine potato taste that doesn’t need excessive seasoning to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mass-produced frozen fries are often treated with preservatives, stabilizers, and processing methods designed for shelf life and consistency. Fresh-cut fries allow the natural character of the potato to shine through, delivering a quality that guests can taste with every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tallow contains naturally occurring saturated and monounsaturated fats, similar to those found in foods such as beef, dairy products, avocados, and olive oil. Monounsaturated fats have been associated with supporting heart health when consumed as part of a balanced diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beef tallow also contains naturally occurring fat-soluble nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, which play important roles in immune function, bone health, vision, and overall wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because tallow is minimally processed compared to many commercial seed oils, it appeals to those seeking more traditional and less heavily refined food ingredients. Many people choose tallow as part of a whole-food lifestyle focused on ingredients that have been used safely for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beef tallow has a naturally high smoke point, making it ideal for frying. This allows fries to cook evenly while developing a golden, crispy exterior without absorbing excessive oil. The result is a fry that is crisp, satisfying, and less greasy than many alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps most importantly, tallow contributes a subtle savory richness that complements the potato rather than overpowering it. It creates the kind of flavor that guests often describe as “how fries used to taste.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Shamrock, every menu item reflects our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, wellness and tradition. Our fresh-cut tallow fries are a perfect example of that philosophy. We could choose cheaper ingredients and easier methods, but we believe our guests deserve better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether paired with one of our signature burgers, enjoyed alongside a perfectly poured whiskey, or shared with friends in our fan favorite Poutine, our fries represent a return to authentic flavor and honest cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next time you visit Shamrock, take a moment to savor the difference. Crispy, golden, fresh-cut potatoes fried in traditional beef tallow aren’t just another side dish\u2014they’re a reminder that sometimes the old ways are still the best ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because great food doesn’t come from shortcuts. It comes from quality ingredients, careful preparation, and a commitment to doing things right. That’s the Shamrock Wellness Fine Dining way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Angela Svonavec, ND and Founding Proprietor <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shamrock’s Poutine Fries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-holistic-food","category-wellness-dining"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions\/67"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shamrockwcb.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
