Ingredients

3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes
4 tbsp Duck Fat
2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
3 Garlic Cloves Unpeel/ smashed
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 F. Place a large roasting tray in the oven to heat up.
Peel the yukon gold potatoes and divide them once in half. Use potatoes that are equal in size for best results.
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot of cold, salted water.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to soften but the centers are still firm.
Drain thoroughly and allow the potatoes to steam dry for a minute in the colander.
Shake the colander gently to fluff up the edges of the potatoes. This helps create a crispy exterior.
Carefully remove the hot roasting tray from the oven. Add the duck fat and let it heat for 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
Gently place the potatoes into the hot fat, turning them to ensure they’re evenly coated. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, and pepper, and scatter the rosemary leaves and garlic cloves across the tray.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, ensuring they have plenty of space to crisp up.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 45-60 minutes, turning them every 15-20 minutes to ensure they brown evenly. They should be golden and crispy on the outside, with a soft, fluffy interior.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Discard the garlic cloves if desired, or use them as a garnish for extra flavor. Serve immediately as a side dish for a Sunday roast or any festive meal.

Notes

The duck fat must be sizzling hot before adding the potatoes to ensure crispiness. Make sure the potatoes have room on the pan to spread out and cook evenly.
