Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 32 small gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons salt ((for boiling water))
  • 6 tablespoons duck fat
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder ((depending on flavor preference))
  • 1-2 teaspoon sea salt ((depending on flavor preference))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees. 
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water (2 tablespoons of salt) for 12 minutes and drain. 
  • Place potatoes on a large baking sheet. Gently smash the potatoes with a flat surface (like the bottom of a ramekin), being careful not to break them apart.
  • Let them sit for about 15 minutes to ensure the moisture dries out. The drier the potatoes, the crispier they will be.
  • Put the (melted) duck fat in a dish. With a pastry brush, brush each smashed potato with a generous amount of duck fat and lightly sprinkle with the garlic powder and salt.
  • Bake the potatoes in the oven for 30-40 minutes until crisp on the outside. Make sure to use the middle or upper rack in the oven to ensure the bottoms don't burn.
