Roasted Duck Fat Potatoes
If you can find the Dutch Cream potatoes, which most supermarkets stock, they are truly the BEST type of potato to use not just for this recipe, but for all Roast Potato recipes! Duck Creams roast perfectly and they are fluffy and delicious in the middle.
Duck Fat is available in just about all supermarkets. You can find it either in the meat section or in the cooking oil section.
It doesn’t really matter how many potatoes you use for this recipe, use as many as you need, just make sure you use enough duck fat to lightly cover them.
