Ultimate Roast Potatoes – Mob-style

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C/356°F.

Step 2

Peel your potatoes and quarter them. Add to a pan of boiling water with a large pinch of salt. Parboil for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, add goose fat to a roasting tray. Place tray in the oven for 10 minutes so the fat can melt and heat through.

Step 4

Drain your potatoes and re-add to the pan. Place a lid on top and give them a good shake. Remove the lid. The outside of the potatoes should be nice and fluffy. This is KEY to the crispiness.

Step 5

Place your fluffy potatoes in the roasting tray. Add 10-12 whole garlic cloves (skin on), a large handful of rosemary, a large handful of thyme, a big pinch of salt and some pepper. Toss everything together. Place the potatoes in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Step 6

KEY PART OF THE METHOD. Every 25 minutes you need to remove the roasting tray from the oven and gently turn the potatoes in the goose fat. This will ensure a nice even golden outside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are gold all over, remove from the oven. Serve with some salt sprinkled on top and enjoy!
