Keogh’s Delicious Roasties

Ingredients

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C fan/gas 6.
2. Peel and halve (or quarter) the potatoes, making sure they are all about the same size.
3. Put in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous teaspoon of salt and bring to the boil.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes uncovered for 5 minutes.
5. Drain well and, with the lid on the pot, shake vigorously to rough up the potato edges. This is what will make the potatoes extra crispy.
6. Heat the duck fat in a large roasting tray in the oven for 5 minutes until piping hot.
7. Tumble the potatoes into the hot fat and carefully turn each potato in the fat to coat well.
8. Sprinkle with sea salt and roast for 40-50 minutes, turning once or twice to ensure they’re crispy and golden on all sides. Serve with an extra sprinkle of sea salt and serve straight away.
