Duck Fat Potatoes
Duck Fat Potatoes
Here is an easy recipe for some great tasting Duck Fat Potatoes.
Start with large white potatoes, peeled & halved
Put in a pot of cold water & little salt & bring to the boil from cold
Let boil for a few minutes
Place in a colander & toss the potatoes until the edges are all rough ( if they are too hard, boil them for a few more minutes, if they break apart then you have boiled them for too long )
Once rough, place in an oven dish & pour Duck Fat over them ( You should be able to buy "LovaDuck" Duck Fat or like me, go to an authentic Chinese Restaurant who hangs their own ducks & buy theirs )
I cook in a fan forced oven at 190C turning them a couple of times - although I must try it in my Pellet Grill.
Cheers, Dave

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
They look delicious
I've done this a few times but the recipe included salting the water which helped give the spuds a bit more flavour, rather than salting at the end.

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
I dry mine after the boil I find they crisp up a bit better. But they do look good!!!

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
I do them that way almost every week and put them directly on the grill rack in the kamado (indirect of course). Roughing them up in a saucepan works too but be careful if they are a bit soft or you'll have mash !
Last week I did them in the GMG Pellet cooker and they were great there too. I just cringe when I see people put roast spuds in a foil tray with oil etc.

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
Sounds like you need a Kamado to cook potatoes in Dave?? It's hard to beat that charcoal flavour on a spud
They look great Dave!
I actually find that it pays to get picky on the type of potatoes you use for different things. Sebagos are a great alrounder, but I love duckfat kipflers with rosemary and sea salt at the moment.
Slightly off-topic, but desiree's for mash work so much better than a run of the mill potato too....

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
Mate, as much as I would like a Kamado, ( as I agree with you on taste on the spud ) with 4 or more Yoders here at any one time, my Missus would KILL me if I went out & bought anotherbeermee wrote:Sounds like you need a Kamado to cook potatoes in Dave??

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
Been having a great time with kipflers of late, great tasting spud, pity they are expensive but worth it.
Don't think I've ever used duck fat for roasting though, lard or butter, must give it a go.

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
I've cooked potatoes in duck fat for the last few years. About a month ago I had run out of the gooey wonder and used oil instead. Well I'm never doing that again
If I get thin skinned clean potatoes I leave the skin on. Yummers!

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
Make your own Duck fat, its real easy.
I get a batch (300ml) out of every second Duck that gets processed around here

Don't argue with idiots.. They'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Look great. How long do you keep them in the oven for Dave?

Until I'm happy with the colour on them, just over an hour I think.mrhappi wrote:Look great. How long do you keep them in the oven for Dave?

Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
Same here, about an hour at normal roasting temps but it depends a bit on the size of the spuds. Bigger can be a bit longer.
Re: Duck Fat Potatoes
Come to think of it did get some duck fat from the last duck - cover me, going into the bowels of the fridge
In my family its sort of standard to just collect the fat drippings from any roast, beef, lamb, pork, chicken, before making a gravy, just pour off, I keep mine in a large soup mug and use as required to roast root veg, in particular potatoes.
Be interesting to see if duck fat does anything better
Cheers

be meaning to get some from the supermarket, my mate lives on it!
