Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these roast potatoes will quickly become your go-to recipe.

1kg King Edward or pontiac potatoes, peeled, chopped into 3cm pieces
2 tbs duck fat
2 tbs chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 190°C. Place potatoes in a saucepan of cold salted water and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes or until parboiled. Drain, then return to the pan and shake well over medium heat to dry out and rough up the edges (this will help them crisp up when roasting).
2.

Place duck fat in a roasting pan, then place in oven for 3-4 minutes until melted and hot. Remove from the oven, carefully add potato to duck fat and gently toss to coat. Season and roast, turning once, for 35-40 minutes until golden and crisp.
3.

Toss with chopped parsley to serve.
