Duck Fat Potatoes - the world's crispiest, BEST Roast Potatoes!
Recipe video above. Duck Fat Potatoes are without a doubt the BEST crispy roast potatoes in the world!! A potato side that's served in fine dining restaurants, potatoes roasted in duck fat have an incredible thick, golden brown crust that's unbelievably crunchy in a way that you will never be able to replicate using oil. And it's a pure, clean flavour that's unlike cooking with other animal fats.If duck fat is out of reach, make Truly Crunchy Roast Potatoes - same method, but using oil instead. After no-fuss no-par boil roast potatoes? Make these!
