Ingredients

3 lb potatoes (Yukon gold, russet, maris piper, or similar)

4 tablespoons duck fat (up to 6 tablespoons for extra richness)

1 tablespoon roast potato seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh rosemary and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into large, even chunks (about 4-6 pieces per potato).
  3. Parboil the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until firm but partially cooked. Drain and let steam dry for a few minutes.
  4. Prepare the Duck Fat: Add 4-6 tablespoons of duck fat to a metal roasting pan. Heat in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until fully melted.
  5. Season the Potatoes: Sprinkle roast potato seasoning and black pepper on the parboiled potatoes. Toss to coat and roughen the edges for extra crispiness.
  6. Coat the Potatoes in Duck Fat: Remove the hot pan from the oven and add the seasoned potatoes. Flip to ensure they are evenly coated in the fat.
  7. Roast the Potatoes: Roast for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, flip the potatoes, baste with duck fat, and roast for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
  8. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped rosemary and parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For Extra Crispiness: Toss the parboiled potatoes in 2 tablespoons of flour or semolina before roasting for an added crunch.
  • Even Cooking: Flip the potatoes once or twice during roasting for even cooking.
  • Optional Parmesan: Add a sprinkle of parmesan in the last 10 minutes of roasting for a cheesy twist.
