Duck fat-roasted potatoes

By Bianca Strydom
4
Easy
45 minutes
nutes Cooking: 1

Ingredients

  • 6 Woolworths Everyday potatoes, peeled
  • salt, to taste
  • 330 g Woolworths free-range duck fat
  • 175 g soft goat’s cheese
  • 50 g Woolworths crispy onion sprinkle
  • Maldon salt, to taste

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan fi lled with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until very soft.

3. While the potatoes are cooking, place the duck fat in a deep oven tray and heat in the oven.

4. Drain the potatoes, return to the pan, cover with a lid and shake gently to create some texture on the potatoes. Carefully transfer the potatoes to the hot duck fat and baste to coat thoroughly.

5. Roast until golden brown, basting often so they turn crispy. Remove from the fat and arrange on a serving dish. Top with dollops of goat’s cheese, crispy onions and Maldon salt.

Cook’s note: These potatoes can be prepped the day before – boil and roughen them up.
