Perfectly Crispy Oven-Roasted Potatoes with Savory Beef Fat

Ingredients

- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons beef fat, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water.
- Carefully add the peeled and cut potatoes to the boiling water.
- Boil for about 8-10 minutes or until the outer layer of the potatoes softens but the centers remain firm.

3. Drain and Season:
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
- Allow them to steam dry for 1-2 minutes with the lid off, so they become slightly fluffy around the edges.

4. Add Fats and Seasoning:
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of melted beef fat over the potatoes.
- Season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Toss the pot gently until the potatoes are well-coated and edges become roughened.

5. Roast the Potatoes:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (optional).
- Evenly spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.

6. Cooking in the Oven:
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes. Turn the potatoes occasionally (every 15-20 minutes) to ensure all sides become evenly golden and crispy.

7. Final touches:
- Remove from the oven once crispy and golden.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.

8. Serve:
- Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving platter immediately. Serve hot as a side dish to your main dinner entrée.
