Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 kg (5 1/2 lb) Maris Piper potatoes
- 10ml (2 tsp) Marmite
- 300g (1 1/2 cups) duck fat
- 15g (1 tbsp) flour
- 3g (1/2 tsp) sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C / 170°C fan / 370°F / gas mark 5.
- Fill a large saucepan halfway with cold water.
- Peel and cut the potatoes to desired size and place into the saucepan.
- Once all potatoes are done place the saucepan onto the stove and bring to the boil over a medium to high heat. Add a good pinch of salt to the water.
- Once boiling, turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes until the potato edges are getting soft.
- Meanwhile, get a large roasting tray and spoon in the duck fat. Place the tray in the oven.
- Once your potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander.
- Once drained, transfer them back to the saucepan. Place the lid over the top and shake well which should allow the edges to break slightly.
- Sprinkle the flour over to coat all the potatoes.
- Remove the roasting tray from the oven, then add the Marmite and mix it with the duck fat.
- Tip the potatoes gently onto the roasting tray. Mix to cover all surfaces of the potatoes with duck fat. Sprinkle over some sea salt, then transfer back to the oven.
- Roast for 1 hour or until golden brown, turning the potatoes every 20 minutes.
- Transfer to the serving plate of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you would like to make this dish vegan you can exchange the duck fat for any oil of your choice. I would suggest sunflower oil as it is more capable of handling the higher heats.
- Marmite is vegan already as it is a byproduct of the brewing industry.
- Also if you are looking to make this recipe gluten free, you can substitute the flour for a gluten free version or omit the flour out all together. I like using the flour as it helps soak up some of the fat and gives you even crispier edges!
