Report
Goose Fat Roast Potatoes that are crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside, a delicious recipe for the festive season. The potatoes are roasted until wonderfully golden and luxurious, and they make the best side dish for any roast.

Ingredients
- 5 medium potatoes ( I recommend Maris Piper potatoes, or Yukon Gold in the US)
- 5 tablespoon goose fat
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks.
- Add them to a large pan and cover them with water - bring to a boil and cook for a further 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Transfer the potatoes into a colander to drain the water, add the seasoning, and shake the colander well to rough up the edges of the potatoes - that will make them extra crispy.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) and pour the goose fat into a large roasting tin.
- Put the tin in the oven for 5 minutes for the fat to heat up well.
- Carefully tip the potatoes in the tin and turn them so they are evenly coated.
- Roast for 25 minutes, then turn them and roast for a further 25-30 minutes until they are golden.
Notes
- Preboiling the potatoes ensure the right texture: crispy and golden on the outside, while fluffy on the inside - do not boil them until they are too soft, or they will completely break down when you shake the colander.
- We need just the edges to be roughed up, but the potatoes should still hold their shape well - otherwise we end up with mashed potatoes.
- Do not add the potatoes to cold goose fat - and that's the rule regardless what kind of fat you use, be it animal or plant based. The hotter the fat, the crispier the potatoes.
- It's crucial to have the potatoes arranged in one single layer so they can crisp up nicely
