potatoes

olive oil

tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

garlic

tbsp parsley (minced)

thyme (minced)

rosemary (minced)

Toss potatoes - In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. 

Cook garlic - Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the olive oil heats, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 

Pan-fry potatoes - Add the potatoes to the pan and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes for about 12-15 minutes until tender on the inside, stirring halfway through.

Make potatoes crispy - Remove the lid and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook the potatoes for an additional 5 minutes, or until the potatoes become golden and crispy. 

Season potatoes and serve - Remove from heat and toss with herbs. Serve warm if eating as a side or at room temperature if serving as a salad topping.

Crispy roasties are essential to any Sunday dinner. Everyone's favourite side can only be improved by roasting in goose fat, with garlic and herbs

Garlic roast potatoes

2kg Maris Piper potatoes

tbsp goose fat

rosemary sprigs, leaves

Peel the potatoes, leaving the smaller ones whole and cutting the larger ones so that they are all roughly the same size. Put them in a large pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 15 mins until cooked through. Tip gently into a colander and leave to drain and cool – there’s no need to shake. When they stop steaming, put them on a tray in a single layer and place in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to roast. Can be done up to two days ahead.

Spoon the goose fat into a flameproof roasting tin and heat on the hob for a few mins. Turn the heat off and, one at a time, turn each potato in the fat so they are completely coated. Make sure they are in a single layer and not touching. Once the oven has heated to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, put the potatoes in the oven and cook for 40 mins undisturbed.

Remove from the oven and, again, turn each potato. Return to the oven for 20 mins, then remove and repeat the turning process. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook the potatoes for a final 20 mins. Add the rosemary and garlic 5 mins before the end. Once cooked, the potatoes should be deep golden and crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.
