Ingredients

Instructions

  • To begin, peel the Yukon golds and cut them into even-sized, large chunks.
  • Add the chunks to a pot of cold water. Bring this pot to a boil and cook the potatoes just about 10 minutes after the boil starts.
  • While the potatoes boil, place the roasting dish with the duck fat into a preheated 425° oven to get nice and hot.
  • Next, drain the potatoes into a colander and let any remaining water evaporate. They need to be very dry.
  • Return the potatoes to the pot, cover with the lid, and give the potatoes a good shake to rough up the outsides of the potatoes.
  • CAREFULLY, remove the roasting pan from the oven. CAREFULLY, spoon the potatoes into the roasting dish. You want to take your time to avoid any splashing of the oil.
  • Take care to coat each potato piece in the fat and return to the oven. Roast them at 425° for 20 minutes. Remove potatoes from the oven and CAREFULLY flip each one over.
  • Return the roasted potatoes to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Remove this from the oven, flip the potatoes and repeat this for at least 2 more times. The idea is to give each side of the potato time to crisp up.
  • After the final flip and cook, you should have the most lovely, crispy roast potatoes ever. Let them cool for just a few minutes and top with minced chives, flakey sea salt, and fresh ground pepper.
  • Enjoy!
