Ingredients
4–5 large russet potatoes
Kosher salt
5–6 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled
10–12 fresh sage leaves
½ cup duck fat (or more as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks. Place in salted water, bring to a boil, and parboil for 8–10 minutes until just tender at edges.
- Drain and let steam dry in pot, shaking gently to roughen edges.
- Heat duck fat in a large roasting pan in the oven until shimmering.
- Add potatoes, garlic cloves, and sage leaves, tossing to coat in hot fat.
- Roast for 40–50 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Sprinkle with extra salt before serving.
Notes
Russet potatoes give the fluffiest insides, but Yukon golds also work well.
Duck fat provides the best crispness, but goose fat, beef drippings, or olive oil can be used.
Leave garlic cloves unpeeled to prevent burning and create a sweet, mellow flavor.
Parboiling and roughing up edges is key for crisp potatoes.
For more herbal depth, add rosemary, thyme, or bay leaves.
