If you haven’t tried Duck Fat Potatoes before, don’t miss out on making this recipe by Grill Girl Robyn. This dish is deliciously rich with crispy potatoes that you, your friends, and family won’t be able to resist!  If you made the Sunshine State of Mind Rotisserie Duck with Orange Honey Glaze Recipe, you can repurpose your leftover duck fat to make this recipe!

Ingredients:

1 lb baby potatoes

1-2 tbsp flour

1 ½  cups duck fat

Large bunch of rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon kosher sea salt

½ tbsp flake sea salt, or to taste

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes until they are fork-tender. Set aside until ready to use.
2. Slice the potatoes in half. Add the kosher salt and stir the potatoes to coat them. Next, add your flour and stir to coat. The flour will give more places for the oil to adhere to give crispy edges but this step can be skipped.
3. Especially when frying on the grill, I like to keep a small fire extinguisher nearby just in case.
4. Next, place your NanoBond Sauteuse or any high heat-resistant pan on your Sear Burner. Place the duck fat into the pan. Heat the Sear burner on high for 5 minutes or until the oil has reached 350⁰ degrees as measured with an instant-read thermometer such as the Thermapen. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, gently place your potatoes in the pan being careful not to splatter hot oil. Let the potatoes cook on medium-high heat until the potatoes have obtained a golden color on all the edges. Adding the potatoes will make the oil temp go down, try to maintain a temp of 350 using an internal temp thermometer while cooking. Flip potatoes as needed so they get golden brown on all sides. This should take about 30 minutes.
5. Remove the potatoes from the heat. Place the potatoes on a plate with paper towels to drain the excess oil. Place the potatoes on your final serving platter and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary and flake sea salt.
6. Prepare to be amazed at the crispy deliciousness of duck-fat fried potatoes! These are great for special occasion meals when you want to be a little extra! Leftovers are great repurposed as Duck Fat potato hash the next day with over-easy eggs, sauteed onions, and salsa.
