Duckfat Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Pat dry the duck breasts with a paper towel.
• Score the duck skin with sharp knife, making sure to not cut into the flesh.
• Season the duck breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Add the potatoes to a pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Using the bottom of a ramekin or your palm, gently smash the potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Starting with a cold and dry oven-safe skillet, place the duck breasts skin side down. Cook for 12-15 minutes over medium heat.
• Flip the breasts over and sear the other side for 1 minute. Flip to the skin side down, and transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast for 4 minutes for medium-rare, or 6 minutes for medium.
• Rest the duck skin-side up for 10 minutes. Do not discard the fat in the pan.
• In a small pot, combine the red wine, chicken stock, orange juice, and honey and reduce by half over medium heat.
• Fry the potatoes with remaining duck fat in the pan, until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and rosemary.
• Slice the duck ½-inch (1 cm) pieces.
• Serve with the sauce and the potatoes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Season generously with salt and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss several times in a colander. (Potatoes should break apart slightly.)
• Add duck fat and herbs to roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet; heat in oven until herbs are sizzling slightly, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and toss with a spoon until evenly coated. Roast, flipping once, until golden and crisp, about 35 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C.
• Toss the potato with the duck fat on a metal baking sheet. Scatter over the salt, pepper, and herbs, if using. Bake the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat add the duck skin and water and cook until the water has evaporated, the fat has rendered out of the skin (the yield will range from about 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on the size of the duck), and the skin is brown and crispy. Strain.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck fat, potatoes, garlic, pinch salt, thyme, and rosemary. Toss together to coat well. Cook 5 minutes on the stovetop and then place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
• Serve with a garlic aioli, and garnish with chopped cracklins and sea salt.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices with slicer. Rinse in 2 or 3 changes of cold water until water runs clear. Drain and pat very dry.
• Heat fat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted. Cook potatoes with 3/4 teaspoon salt, turning gently, until coated with fat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, turning occasionally, until golden in spots and potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop parsley and garlic together.
• Gently stir parsley mixture into cooked potatoes.
