Best Duckfat Potatoes Recipes

DUCK FAT-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a paring knife to remove the peel from the garlic and shallots. Remove the root-ends of the shallots, then thinly slice. Add duck fat to a medium heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook, stirring often, until garlic begins to brown, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add sliced shallots and ½ tablespoon salt. Stir to combine with the duck fat and cook, 3-4 minutes. Then turn heat to low and cook until lightly caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, the shallots should have light caramelization and the garlic cloves should be soft and golden brown. Remove from heat. Place potatoes in a baking dish large enough to hold them in an even layer. Pour the duck fat mixture over the potatoes, followed by wine and stock. Season with remaining ½ tablespoon salt. Lay thyme sprigs over the top, then tightly cover with aluminum foil. Roast for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, remove potatoes from the oven. Check for doneness by piercing a larger potato with a knife. If there's no resistance, the potatoes are done. Discard thyme sprigs; then mix in the olives. Let rest so the flavors marry together, 1 hour. Rewarm in oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes before serving.

DUCK FAT ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat add the duck skin and water and cook until the water has evaporated, the fat has rendered out of the skin (the yield will range from about 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on the size of the duck), and the skin is brown and crispy. Strain.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck fat, potatoes, garlic, pinch salt, thyme, and rosemary. Toss together to coat well. Cook 5 minutes on the stovetop and then place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
• Serve with a garlic aioli, and garnish with chopped cracklins and sea salt.
