Gently toss the broken potatoes with the bacon grease, avocado oil, fry seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast the potatoes 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are crisp and golden brown.

In a small bowl, gently stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, hot sauce, and pickle juice. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
