Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp Kosher Salt for boiling and roasting
For the Flavor
  • 6 cloves Whole Garlic Cloves unpeeled

For Roasting
  • 1/2 cup Duck Fat can substitute with vegetable oil or beef drippings

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel russet potatoes and chop them into large pieces, around 6 to 8 per potato.
  3. Place chopped potatoes into a large pot filled with salted water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes carefully once done.
  5. Return the drained potatoes to the pot, cover with the lid, and vigorously shake the pot to rough up the edges.
  6. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the preheated oven with duck fat spread evenly across it. Heat it for about 5-10 minutes until shimmering and hot.
  7. Crush unpeeled garlic cloves and separate the fresh sage leaves. Once the fat is hot, carefully add garlic and sage to the baking sheet.
  8. Add roughened potatoes to the hot baking sheet, spread out and not touching.
  9. Sprinkle kosher salt over the potatoes before returning the baking sheet to the oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
  10. After 10-15 minutes, flip each potato to ensure even browning. Continue roasting for at least an hour, flipping every 10-15 minutes.
  11. Once golden brown and crispy, remove from oven and serve immediately.
