Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 4 Tbsp duck fat
  • 1 Tbsp chives finely chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1.5 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
  • Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch pieces.
  • Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  • Heat the Duck Fat: While the potatoes are boiling, add 4 tablespoons of duck fat to a large cast iron skillet or a heavy metal baking pan. Place it in the oven to heat.
  • Dry and Season the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Shake the pot gently to steam off excess moisture and rough up the surface of the potatoes. Season with pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Roast the Potatoes: Carefully place the seasoned potatoes in the pre-heated duck fat in the pan, arranging them in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes undisturbed.
  • Flip and Continue Roasting: Flip the potatoes and continue roasting for another 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip them once again to ensure all surfaces get evenly crispy.
  • Finishing Touches: Remove the potatoes from the oven. Immediately sprinkle with flaky salt and chives.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
