Using goose fat gives perfect roast potatoes for a Sunday or Christmas roast.
Ingredients
- 60g goose fat OR 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 900g King Edward potatoes
Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Put the goose fat or oil in a large roasting tin and pop in the oven to get really hot.
- 2. Meanwhile, quarter the potatoes and put in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 6 minutes. Drain well, then shake gently in the pan to rough up the edges.
- 3. Carefully tip the potatoes into the roasting tin, coat in the fat and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 1 hour, turning the potatoes halfway through, or until crisp and golden all over. Serve.
