4 servings
- 2 ½ lb yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 tbsp kosher salt, for the boiling water
- ⅓ cup duck fat, goose fat, or beef tallow (or extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled and lightly crushed (optional)
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the fat in a large rimmed baking sheet and set it in the oven while it preheats.

Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water by at least 1 inch, and add the kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a vigorous simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to look ragged and a knife tip meets slight resistance at the center — the potatoes should not be fully cooked through.
