crispy leaf potatoes with oregano salt
- 5.5kg large sebago (starchy) potatoes, peeled
- 1¼ cups (310g) duck fat+, melted
- 1 tablespoon sea salt flakes
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
oregano salt
- ¼ cup oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons sea salt flakes
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Trim the rounded edges of each potato to make large rectangles and thinly slice on a mandolin. Place in a large bowl, add the duck fat, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- Working along the short edge of a 24cm x 37cm roasting pan, arrange the potato upright from right to left to fill the pan. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- To make the oregano salt, place the oregano and half the salt in a small food processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl, add the remaining salt and mix to combine.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with oregano salt to serve. Serves 8–10
TIP
You can buy duck fat in jars or tins at delicatessens, specialty grocers and at most supermarkets.
