Goose Fat Roast Potatoes Recipes

GOOSE FAT ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut each into eight pieces.
• Boil salted water and place potatoes in boiling water for 7 minutes.
• Drain water carefully into the sink and in the same pot with a cover on shake the potato pieces up until all the edges are rough looking.
• Add salt and pepper and dried herbes de Provence to the potato pieces. Mince the garlic and parsley and coat the potato pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 425. Heat an oven safe roasting pan or skillet uncovered. You can start on the stove if you have a pan that can handle both oven and stove.
• Add a generous amount of rendered goose fat to the heated pan (about half inch deep when melted should be good).
• Carefully add coated potatoes to the hot oil making sure each piece is turned and coated in goose fat.
• Roast in oven at 425 F for one hour turning the potato pieces every 15 minutes to ensure browning on all sides.
• Remove potato from pan and serve.

POTATOES ROASTED IN GOOSE FAT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Have ready a bowl of cold water. Peel potatoes and witha 3/4-inch melon-ball cutter cut out potato balls, dropping into water as cut. Drain potatoes in a colander and transfer them to several layers of paper towels, patting very dry.
• In a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) heat goose fat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add potatoes, stirring to coat with fat, and roast in middle of oven, turning potatoes every 15 minutes, until crisp and golden, about 45 minutes.
• While potatoes are roasting, in a very small saucepan cook garlic in butter over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon transfer potatoes to a large bowl and stir in garlic butter, parsley, and salt to taste.

ULTIMATE ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
• Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
• Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
• Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
• Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
• Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
• Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
• Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
• Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

GOOSE FAT ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10 mins, then drain. Rough up their surfaces with a fork or by shaking them in the pan with the lid on.
• Melt the goose fat in a large, thickbottomed roasting tin on top of the stove. Tip in the potatoes carefully and turn them until they are evenly coated in the fat. Place on the top shelf of the oven (move the turkey down a shelf if necessary) and roast for 1-1¼ hrs, turning every now and then, until crisp and golden. Sprinkle with salt to serve.
