Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Wash and Cut Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the fingerling potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, ensuring that they are evenly sized for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare Garlic and Rosemary

    Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the flat side of a knife. Chop the fresh rosemary leaves finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Melt Duck Fat

    In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, add the duck fat and place it in the preheated oven until melted, approximately 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Season the Potatoes

    Once the duck fat is melted, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Add the halved fingerling potatoes to the skillet, cut side down. Season with salt, black pepper, crushed garlic cloves, and chopped rosemary. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.

  3. 6

    Roast the Potatoes

    Return the skillet to the oven and roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven halfway through and toss the potatoes to ensure even browning.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Once the potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
