The trick to roasting potatoes is to boil them first so they become super crisp outside and fluffy inside. I like to cook them in duck fat as it gives a really great flavour. Try it one time and you will be hooked.

Ingredients

  • 250g kipfler potatoes, unpeeled and well washed

  • sea salt

  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

  • freshly ground pepper

  • extra virgin olive oil or duck fat

Method

  1. Step 1

    Place potatoes in a pot with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. For the last few minutes, add the thyme sprigs. Drain well and allow potatoes to dry out.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oven to 200C. In a roasting dish, place the potatoes and thyme. Crush the kipflers slightly with the back of a fork. Sprinkle over sea salt and plenty of oil (or duck fat if using). Place in oven and roast until golden and crisp. Season with freshly ground pepper and serve immediately.
