Ingredients
1.5kg floury potatoes,
Maris Piper or King Edwards, peeled and cut in half
100g duck fat
8 garlic cloves
Few sprigs of thyme
Few sprigs of rosemary
2tbsp semolina
Sea salt & freshly
ground pepper
Preparation
method
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C
Fan/Gas mark 7.
2. Put the potatoes in a
saucepan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil, parboil for 5 minutes. Drain well and then give them a gentle shake
to fluff p the sides.
3. Meanwhile place the
roasting tin in the oven and melt the duck fat.
4. Sprinkle the semolina
over the potatoes and carefully tip into the sizzling fat along with the
garlic, thyme, rosemary and season. Toss the
potatoes gently to ensure an even coating of fat and spread them out in an even
layer.
5. Roast the potatoes
until golden and crisp, this should take 45-50 minutes to ensure they colour evenly. When cooked to perfection pat dry with
kitchen paper to remove the excess fat and serve. Enjoy!
