Ingredients![](https://taste.co.za/wp-content/themes/taste.co.za/img/details-arrow-up.jpeg)
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Parboil the potatoes in salted water.
Mix the polenta, cheese and rosemary.
Coat the potatoes in the polenta mixture and place on a baking tray.
Drizzle over the duck fat and roast for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cook's note: take crunchy roast potatoes to the next level with polenta and Parmesan. You may never make potatoes the same way again.
The final sentence under Cook’s note: “You may never make potatoes the same way again.” One way of reading that shows a distinct lack of confidence in the potential recipe’s success. ?
