The Ultimate Roast Potatoes

Instructions
-
Prep the Potatoes
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Add the vegetable stock pot and stir to dissolve.
- Add the quartered potatoes and boil for 10 minutes.
-
Rough Them Up
- Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a colander.
- Gently shake the colander to rough up the potatoes’ surfaces – this will make them extra crispy.
-
Chill Out
- Place the potatoes on a wire rack over a baking tray.
- Pop them in the fridge for about an hour to cool completely.
-
Fire Up the BBQ
- Preheat your BBQ to 190°C.
- Place a cast iron skillet on the BBQ and add the goose fat, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir occasionally for about 15 minutes until the herbs are fragrant and the flavours have infused into the fat.
-
Roast to Perfection
- Remove the skillet from the BBQ and replace it with a roasting pan.
- Pour half the infused oil into the pan and add the cooled potatoes.
- Pour the remaining oil over the potatoes, straining if you prefer to leave behind most of the herbs.
-
Crispy and Golden
Roast the potatoes, turning them every 15 minutes, until they’re crisp and golden – this should take about an hour.
-
Finish and Serve
- Once done, plate up the potatoes and sprinkle over some Tater Tosser seasoning.
- Stir gently to coat them evenly.

Note
- Tip: If you want a less herb-heavy oil, strain the infused oil before pouring it over the potatoes.
- Optional: You can also use duck fat instead of goose fat for a slightly different flavour profile.
- Hot Holding: These potatoes can be kept warm in an oven at 90°C if you need to prepare them ahead of time.
