Red Potatoes Roasted in Duck Fat


Remember the amazing duck recipe that I posted not too long ago? Well, I kept the duck fat, because it's liquid gold. Never throw duck fat away. Never. Instead, collect the fat and use it to roast red potatoes with garlic and herbs, like I did. If you really want to push it over the top, and I usually do, then add lots of Parmesan cheese. I served these with delicious grilled steaks, but honestly, I think the potatoes stole the show.



Red Potatoes Roasted in Duck Fat
Serving Size = 2 - 3
  • 1 1/2 lbs of red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons or so of duck fat
  • Salt/Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. Pour the duck fat over the potatoes (in a 9x13 inch baking dish). Add the seasoning and garlic, toss well to make sure everything is coated. 
  3. Bake 35 - 45 minutes, flipping the potatoes over halfway through. In the last 5 minutes, add the Parmesan.

I have some left over duck fat from yesterday. This is perfect. I used to work with a chef that siad" when in doubt, add bacon...or duck fat". Roasted potatoes in duck fat would be perfection.

This used to be one of my favourite things... then my GF threw my duck fat away cause it looked funny. Guess I'll have to roast another duck.

Elsa, your potatoes sound fantastic. I have used goose fat to roast potatoes, but never duck fat. I will have to try your delicious recipe.
