- 1 lb Goose fat and trim or duck or chicken fat
- ½ cup water
Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs Russet potatoes
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons Rendered goose fat
Optional Garlic and Parsley
- 1 large clove Garlic
- 1 ½ bunch Fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
Rendering Goose Fat
- Preheat the oven to 325 F. Cut the goose fat into pieces and put in a pot with the water, then bring to a simmer and put in the oven.
- Remove the pot from the oven after 20 minutes and break up pieces of fat that have stuck together.
- After about 30-45 minutes the fat should be clear and rendered. Strain the fat through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and reserve.
Optional Garlic and Parsley
- Trim the end from the garlic, crush with the back of a knife, mince with the parsley leaves and reserve until needed.
Potatoes
- Boil or roast the potatoes until they can be pierced with a knife.
- Cool the potatoes, peel, quarter the long way and cut into 1 inch pieces.
Oven-Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Toss the potatoes in a bowl with the melted fat and salt. You can add a few leaves of rosemary, whole thyme sprigs and 3-4 crushed garlic cloves if you like.
- Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, turning them over with a spatula after 15 minutes. Spoon the potatoes into a dish and serve.
Pan Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Heat the fat in a large cast iron skillet.
- Add the potatoes and cook on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until the potatoes are golden on the underside. Toss the potatoes in the pan, then put the pan in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the pan and put back on the burner on medium-high heat to get them as golden brown as possible.
- Toss the potatoes with a tablespoon of the minced garlic and parsley if using and serve.
