Show off your serious potato-making skills in front of the whole family this Christmas as I show you how to perfectly roast your potatoes! 😍

This is a work in progress where I'll be posting videos on the stuff I do in the kitchen and around the house - if it's linked to food, I'm trying to capture it on video and pop it up here for you to see.

Of course, cooking will be a major part, there will also be drinks stuff like wines I match with food to coffee training on different machines, tips and hacks in the kitchen, through to education like butchering and knife skills.

🧑‍🍳 INGREDIENTS:

• 1kg Baby desiree/maris piper/kestrel potatoes (100g each potato)
• 400g-600g Always Fresh Duck Fat
• ½ tsp Bi-carb soda
• 1 tsp Salt
• 200g Shallots, peeled
• 6 Sprig rosemary
• 1 Bunch thyme
• 3 Fresh bay leaves
• Salt and white pepper to taste

🧑‍🍳 METHOD:

• Pre-heat your oven to 200°C, then line a baking tray with a layer of baking paper. Add in enough duck fat to cover the whole bottom of the tray, around half a centimetre. Put the tray into the oven and get your duck fat heating up!

• Then fork/stab your potatoes and put them into a large pot of cold water with the shallots, bi-carb, salt, half the rosemary, half the thyme and all the bay leaves. Cover and put onto the stove to gently boil until cooked - around 30 minutes.

• Drain into a colander and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Take each potato and squash using a potato masher or any flat implement, this gives lots of raggedy edges to crisp up. Take your tray out of the oven and spread the potatoes out on the tray evenly, scatter the shallots around, and lightly season with salt and white pepper. Turn the potatoes in the duck fat so they will go crispy all over. Place them in the oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway or until golden brown.

• Just before you remove the potatoes from the oven, add the remaining rosemary and thyme. Toss them through and return to the oven for 5 minutes.

• Remove the tray from the oven and using a spatula lift the potatoes from the tray into a serving dish. Scatter the shallots and herbs on top to garnish, then pop them on the table with a sense of pride!
