Notes

Roast Potato Tips • Floury potatoes are key. Maris Piper or King Edward give you that dry, fluffy centre and crisp exterior. • Cook the potatoes until they’re very tender, almost falling apart. That soft surface is what crisps up later. • Drain carefully and let them sit until the moisture fully escapes and the outside looks dry and flaky. Don’t shake them. • Always add potatoes to hot fat. Carefully spoon the hot duck fat over so every surface is coated. • Don’t overcrowd the tray. Space them out so hot air can circulate – two trays are better than one. If you can, cook your roast potatoes first thing in the morning before anything else goes in the oven. You can crank the temperature right up, which is essential for crispiness. Once other dishes are in, the oven steams and the potatoes won’t crisp properly. Cook them until lightly golden, then leave them uncovered at room temperature so they don’t soften. Just before serving, put them back into a hot oven for 10–15 minutes to finish crisping and colouring.
