Notes
- Try and cut the potatoes uniformly, the same size if possible so that they all cook at the same time.
- If you want to achieve golden and crispy outside with fluffy and creamy inside roasted potatoes, you need to par-boil your potatoes until their surface start softening.
- Drain the potatoes and let them dry with their own steam before putting them into the hot oil tray.
- Don't skimp on duck fat, it adds flavor and crispiness to the potatoes.
