The secret to perfect fried potatoes is to start them on a high heat, then turn the heat right down and let them cook slowly

Method

  1. Up to 2 days ahead, boil the potatoes for 2 mins, then drain and leave to cool.
  2. Thirty mins before serving, melt the duck fat in a large frying pan and add the potatoes. Start them on a high heat to get some colour, then turn the heat down to sizzle the potatoes slowly for 20 mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until completely golden and crisp.
  3. Just before serving, toss through the parsley and garlic, season with salt and serve.

    Would thoroughly recommend this method of sauteing potatoes. I didn't bother with the parsley and garlic and would recommend draining the spuds on kitchen paper before serving to remove some of the excess fat.
