Ingredients

Method

1

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).

2

Place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold salted water; bring to the boil. Simmer, covered, for 8-12 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and leave to dry for several minutes.

3

Melt the duck fat in the pan the potatoes were cooked in. Return the potatoes to the pan. Cover the pan with the lid; shake pan well to rough up the outsides and coat them with the duck fat.

4

Place the potatoes in a medium roasting pan in a single layer; season well. Roast for 25 minutes. Turn the potatoes; add garlic to pan. Roast for a further 20 minutes or until golden and crunchy.
