Neven Maguire's Crispy Roast Potatoes with Garlic & Thyme
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time68 Minutes
Ingredients
1kg Floury Potatoes, such as Rooster, Desiree, King Edward or Maris Piper
3 Tbsp Simply Better Irish Duck Fat
3-4 Fresh Thyme Sprigs
6-8 Garlic Cloves – Unpeeled
Sea Salt
Directions
INGREDIENTS
- 1kg Floury Potatoes, such as Rooster, Desiree, King Edward or Maris Piper
- 3 Tbsp Simply Better Irish Duck Fat
- 3-4 Fresh Thyme Sprigs
- 6-8 Garlic Cloves – Unpeeled
- Sea Salt
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F / Gas Mark 7).
- Wash and peel the potatoes before cutting them in half or quarters, depending on their size.
- Place the potatoes in a pot of cold water with a pinch of salt, then cover and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and leave in the colander to cool slightly, then give them a good shake to fluff up the edges.
- Meanwhile, put the duck fat in a large roasting tin and put in the oven to heat.
- Take the roasting tin out of the oven and put on the hob over a gentle heat.
- Put the potatoes in one by one – they should sizzle as they hit the pan – and baste all over.
- Add the garlic and thyme and season with salt.
- Roast for about 1 hour, until golden and crunchy, keeping an eye on them and basting with a little more fat if they begin to look dry.
- Serve immediately, as these do not appreciate hanging around.
NEVEN'S TIP
If you’re cooking for vegetarians, swap the duck fat for 4 Tbsp Simply Better Cold Pressed Irish Rapeseed Oil
