Description
They Cajun roasted potatoes are spicy and crispy on the outside, fluffy potato goodness on the inside. Just how a good roast potato should be!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1kg baby potatoes
- 1 tbsp Cajun spice
- 4 tbsp duck fat
- sea salt flakes to season
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and fill them with enough cold water to cover them. Boil for 30 minutes or till cooked through and fork tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, make the basting oil by combining the cajun spice blend and duck fat in a small bowl. Give it a quick whisk to combine and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius.
- Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large roasting pan or rimmed baking tray. Using both hands, gently “break” each potato in half. Arrange in a single, even layer in the roasting dish. Be careful not to crowd the pan. Brush the duck fat over the potatoes making sure to coat them thoroughly. Give the pan a quick shake to make sure everything is evenly coated.
- Pop them into the preheated oven and roast till golden brown (approx. 40+ minutes). While hot, sprinkle liberally with sea salt flakes.
Notes
When baking duck fat roasted potatoes, make sure your oven is nice and hot. Otherwise, the potatoes will just stew in the duck fat. We want crispy roast potatoes. Fluffy on the inside and golden on the outside!
If you find your potatoes aren’t roasting evenly, I sometimes like to brush a little extra duck fat over each potato halfway through cooking.
Garnish with finely chopped coriander or parsley.
