Adored as a versatile, delicious cooking fat, goose fat also makes the world’s best roast potatoes.
3 large Yukon Gold potatoes, about 300 g, peeled and cut into quarters
200-g jar goose fat
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 sprig rosemary
1/4 tsp salt
PREHEAT oven to 425F.
BOIL potatoes in a medium pot until tender, 10-12 min. Drain well.
POUR goose fat, garlic cloves and rosemary in an 8x8 baking dish. Bake in centre of oven until hot, 10 min. Add potatoes to hot fat in a single layer, being careful not to splash the oil.
BAKE in centre of oven, turning every 20 min, until golden and crispy, about 1 hour.
REMOVE potatoes from oil, draining on paper towel if desired, and sprinkle with salt.
