Twice-cooked roast potatoes in tomato salsa
“You can also make this with sweet potatoes. Either way, they’ll taste great served with the roast peppers and Hollandaise.”- Abigail Donnelly
Ingredients
Method- 1.5 kg Woolworths Everyday potatoes
- 100 g Woolworths duck fat
- salt, to taste
- For the tomato salsa, mix:
- 3 tomatoes 3, chopped
- 1 t garlic, crushed
- 8 anchovies, chopped
- 2 T capers, drained
- 2 T Italian parsley, chopped
- 2 T olive oil
Method
Ingredients1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel and halve the potatoes, then place in a large saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil. When boiling, cook for 8–10 minutes until just soft. Drain in a colander and allow to steam for 5 minutes.
2. Shake the colander to roughen up the surface of the potatoes. This creates extra surface area for extra crunch! Place the potatoes in a roasting tray, drench with the duck fat and sprinkle with salt.
3. Roast for 30–40 minutes, turning often, until evenly golden brown. Toss the potatoes with the salsa.
Cook's note: Boiling the potatoes before roughening the surface creates a mashed potato effect on the outside. While roasting, you’ll get even more of the crispy texture that everyone loves.
