Golden, crunchy, and richly flavoured, these crispy roasted potatoes are transformed by Fancy Fat.
Goose fat lends a savoury depth that delivers a golden, crispy crust and a light, fluffy interior.
Simple to make yet impossible to resist!
Ingredients
1kg Maris Piper potatoes
5 tbsp of goose fat (can use duck or Wagyu beef fat)
1 tsp salt (for boiling water)
Sea salt flakes (to serve)
Optional: cracked black pepper, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, sage or rosemary
Method
-
Preheat oven to 220°C / 200°C fan / Gas 7.
-
Peel and cut potatoes into even chunks (approximately 5cm in diameter).
-
Parboil potatoes. Place in a large pot of cold salted water, bring to a boil. Boil for 8–10 minutes, until just starting to soften. Drain well and leave to steam dry for 2–3 minutes.
-
Shake the potatoes gently in the colander or toss them around in the pot to fluff up the edges (this helps crisping).
-
Put fat into large roasting tray and place in the oven for 5 minutes or until fat is melted and hot.
-
Add potatoes to the roasting tray with hot fat. Turn them so they’re coated on all sides.
Optional: add garlic and herbs (sage or rosemary) -
Roast for 45–60 minutes, turning every 20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
-
