Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes

November 26, 2015 2 Comments

Roast Potatoes 1

If I’m being honest, half the reason I opted to roast a duck for Friendsgiving was so that I could get my hands on some duck fat. Why? Because it’s delicoius! It’s got an amazingly light, savory flavor that’s not overpoweringly rich like other fats, and silky-smooth mouth feel. You can use it to cook just about anything, including veggies, fries, pies, confit…it turns absolutely everything into instant umami yumminess. This stuff is liquid gold, people.

Case in point: these potatoes. Regular roasted potatoes are delicious, yes? Buttery, crispy, salty…they are the perfect side dish. But if you swap out the butter with a few tablespoons of duck fat? Heaven. Extra crispy golden crust (but super tender on the inside), hint of richness, super enhanced potato-y flavor, and the most incredibly scent. Your guests won’t know what’s so special about these potatoes – they’ll just know that they can’t stop eating it.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

    Oh sweet goodness. Now I absolutely have to get my hands on some duck fat! I’m a huge fan of just about any type of roasted potatoes but I’ve never tried using duck fat – these sound amazing!

      Thank you! I think you *might* be able to buy duck fat at a butcher shop, maybe? Possibly also Wegman’s or Whole Foods. Let me know if you do try it!
