Ultimate Roast Potatoes

The ultimate roast potatoes, cooked in Dome, by @chefthombateman. At Gozney, we believe no holiday plate is complete without a roast potato.  

Step 1:

 Peel the potatoes and cut into even chunks.

Step 2:

Add to the cold chicken stock, bring them to boil and cook for 11 minutes or until just fork tender. Strain but keep the stock to make a gravy with as it’s now packed full of starch.  

Step 3:

Rough the potatoes up so they are frayed at the edges, place on a tray or rack and dry them out uncovered in a fridge.  

Step 4:

Add the duck fat, garlic and herbs to a pan with a generous pinch of salt. Bring this up to approx. 90°C/ 194°F and allow to infuse for at least 2 hours (this can be done the day before)  

Step 5:

Strain the infused fat removing the garlic and herbs, add this to a roasting tray and heat before adding the potatoes. Ensure the potatoes are completely covered in the fat before placing back into the dome at 250-260°C/482°F-500°F.  

Step 6:

Turn the potatoes every 5 minutes until they are golden and crispy this will take around 30 mins. Drain off the fat for the final 5 minutes to make them extra crispy.  

Step 7:

Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt.
