Jock Zonfrillo Instagram – Time to step up your roast potato game!
I pride myself on my roasters being the star. But it’s not a set-and-forget type of thing – mine have shallots, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and of course the @alwaysfreshau Duck Fat which make them deliciously crunchy. These are the perfect side to you Christmas meats… but don’t be surprised if they steal the show!
ULTIMATE DUCK FAT ROAST POTATOES
-—————————————
INGREDIENTS
1kg Baby desiree/maris piper/kestrel potatoes (100g each potato)
400g-600g Always Fresh Duck Fat
½ tsp Bi-carb soda
1 tsp Salt
200g Shallots, peeled
6 Sprig rosemary
1 Bunch thyme
3 Fresh bay leaves
Salt and white pepper to taste
-—————————————
METHOD
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C, then line a baking tray with a layer of baking paper. Add in enough duck fat to cover the whole bottom of the tray, around half a centimetre. Put the tray into the oven and get your duck fat heating up!
Then fork/stab your potatoes and put them into a large pot of cold water with the shallots, bi-carb, salt, half the rosemary, half the thyme and all the bay leaves. Cover and put onto the stove to gently boil until cooked – around 30 minutes.
Drain into a colander and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Take each potato and squash using a potato masher or any flat implement, this gives lots of raggedy edges to crisp up. Take your tray out of the oven and spread the potatoes out on the tray evenly, scatter the shallots around, and lightly season with salt and white pepper. Turn the potatoes in the duck fat so they will go crispy all over. Place them in the oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway or until golden brown.
Just before you remove the potatoes from the oven, add the remaining rosemary and thyme. Toss them through and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and using a spatula lift the potatoes from the tray into a serving dish. Scatter the shallots and herbs on top to garnish, then pop them on the table with a sense of pride!
