Ingredients
For the Perfect Roast Potatoes:
2 pounds of potatoes
4 tablespoons of duck or goose fat (or 100ml olive oil for a vegetarian option)
2 teaspoons flour
2 teaspoons sea salt (for serving)
1 teaspoon dried parsley or thyme (optional)
Instructions
Preheat Your Wood-Fired Oven: Start up your wood-fired oven and regulate the temperature to 420–500°F for the best roasting results.
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters for the perfect bite-sized portions.
Boil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, add a pinch of salt, and boil for 20 minutes.
Heat the Oil: While the potatoes are boiling, add duck fat, goose fat, or olive oil to a roasting tray and place it near the oven door to warm up.
Drain and Season: Once the potatoes are done boiling, drain them well. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Coat with Flour: Sprinkle flour evenly over the potatoes and toss them to ensure every piece is coated. Add parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
Roast the Potatoes: Transfer the potatoes to the heated roasting tray, ensuring they are evenly spread out. Roast for 20–30 minutes, turning them every 15 minutes to achieve a crispy, golden crust.
Finish and Serve: Once crispy and golden, remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve them alongside your Christmas roast.
