Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 ½ hours
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
-
1.5-2kg Sebago potatoes, peeled and cut into 5cm pieces
-
2 tbsp salt
-
200g duck fat
-
3 rosemary sprigs
-
4 garlic cloves, smash with the skin on
Feta Dipping Sauce
-
200g Danish feta
-
¼ up unsweetened yoghurt
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
¼ tsp pepper
-
½ lemon, juiced
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 240°C.
-
Place the potatoes on a pot and add enough water to fully cover them. Add the salt and bring to the boil. Cook for 15 minutes or until softened but not falling apart.
-
Drain the potatoes and lightly shake them in the colander to create a rough and coarse surface. Set aside.
-
Add the duck fat to a baking tray and place it into the oven, heat for 5 –10 minutes until the fat is hot!
-
Carefully remove the tray from the oven. Gently add the potatoes, rosemary and garlic to the tray and toss them around so they get coated with the fat.
-
Place into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and toss one more time turning the potatoes around. Cook for another 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy all over.
-
To make the Feta Dipping Sauce: Place the feta, yoghurt, paprika, pepper and the juice of half a lemon into a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.
-
Serve the potatoes in a bowl, garnishing with plenty of salt and pepper, alongside the Feta Dipping Sauce.
