Aldi Duck Fat Roast Potatoes Recipes

DUCK FAT-ROASTED POTATOES

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.

ROASTED DUCK FAT POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together the potatoes, duck fat, salt and pepper. Lay thyme sprigs and bay leaves on top.
• Roast for 30 minutes, then toss the garlic into the potatoes and reduce oven heat to 350 degrees. Continue to roast until potatoes are fork-tender, another 15 to 25 minutes. Remove thyme and bay leaves and serve, or let cool for up to an hour then reheat, uncovered, at 350 degrees just before serving.

DUCK-FAT POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place potatoes in a small pot and cover completely with generously salted water. Bring water to a boil and cook potatoes until fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to rest until cool enough to touch. Using the palms of your hands, carefully smash potatoes until flat but still in one piece.
• Place potatoes on a small rimmed baking sheet or pan. Drizzle with duck fat and add rosemary and garlic to pan. Generously salt and pepper potatoes. Gently toss potatoes until evenly coated with the duck fat.
• Roast potatoes for 20 minutes. Flip them, then roast an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.

DUCK FAT-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a paring knife to remove the peel from the garlic and shallots. Remove the root-ends of the shallots, then thinly slice. Add duck fat to a medium heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook, stirring often, until garlic begins to brown, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add sliced shallots and ½ tablespoon salt. Stir to combine with the duck fat and cook, 3-4 minutes. Then turn heat to low and cook until lightly caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, the shallots should have light caramelization and the garlic cloves should be soft and golden brown. Remove from heat. Place potatoes in a baking dish large enough to hold them in an even layer. Pour the duck fat mixture over the potatoes, followed by wine and stock. Season with remaining ½ tablespoon salt. Lay thyme sprigs over the top, then tightly cover with aluminum foil. Roast for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, remove potatoes from the oven. Check for doneness by piercing a larger potato with a knife. If there's no resistance, the potatoes are done. Discard thyme sprigs; then mix in the olives. Let rest so the flavors marry together, 1 hour. Rewarm in oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes before serving.

DUCK FAT ROASTED POTATOES

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.
