Chef’s tips
Before placing the potatoes in the oven add some whole garlic cloves and sprigs of rosemary for a great aroma.
Toss root vegetables with a little duck fat for extra flavour before roasting too.

This makes the most sensational potatoes...I also tried this with diced potatoes & it made the yummiest crunchy little potato bites I've ever had.

Saved the fat from a roasted duck without being sure as to what I was going to do with it but knowing Google would point me in the right direction. So glad to have found this recipe. I'm no chef , but this dish is very simple and very tasty.
