Perfect roast potatoes in goose fat
Now that you can buy jars of goose fat in most supermarkets it makes this a practical dish to serve.
The goose fat turns roast potatoes into something special so it is well worth the extra effort.

Ingredients
Serves 6
1kg large potatoes – or more if you are greedy!
2 tablespoons goose fat
Crunchy salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Method
Preheat the oven 220C / 425F / gas 7.
Peel the potatoes and cut into roast-size pieces. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the potatoes and boil for five minutes. Strain and put back into the saucepan.
Put on the lid and shake well to scuff up the edges of the potatoes. Put the fat into a large roasting tin and heat in the oven.
Remove carefully when hot and tip in the potatoes, but be careful not to splash the fat as it is very hot.
Toss the potatoes around to coat with the fat and then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes; toss again and continue until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve as soon as possible as they will turn soft after a while.
