Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, these roasted potatoes are incredible.
Duck fat is the secret to their rich flavour, but you can customize the taste by switching
up the type of fat you use.

TIP FROM THE TEST KITCHEN
If you don’t have a roasting pan big enough to fit the
potatoes, a large rimmed baking sheet will also work.
Just be careful when stirring and lifting the pan out of the
oven so none of the hot fat spills onto your oven floor.
