DUCK-FAT POTATOES FOR TWO

Duck-Fat Potatoes for Two image

A celebratory meal deserves something special. At our house, seared steak demands potatoes bathed in duck fat and roasted till their skins are crisp. This recipe multiplies out neatly and infinitely as long as you have oven space.

Ingredients

3/4 pound very small Yukon gold or other yellow-fleshed potatoes
Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons duck fat (or olive oil)
2 sprigs rosemary
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Cracked black pepper

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place potatoes in a small pot and cover completely with generously salted water. Bring water to a boil and cook potatoes until fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to rest until cool enough to touch. Using the palms of your hands, carefully smash potatoes until flat but still in one piece.
Place potatoes on a small rimmed baking sheet or pan. Drizzle with duck fat and add rosemary and garlic to pan. Generously salt and pepper potatoes. Gently toss potatoes until evenly coated with the duck fat.
Roast potatoes for 20 minutes. Flip them, then roast an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
