Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly and dry them. If they are large, cut them in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Roast the Garlic

    Wrap the whole garlic cloves in aluminum foil and drizzle with a little duck fat. Roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until soft.

  3. 3

    Toss with Duck Fat

    In a large bowl, toss the fingerling potatoes with duck fat, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the coated potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Add Cheeses

    During the last 5 minutes of roasting, remove the garlic from the oven, squeeze out the roasted garlic into a bowl, and mix it with the Parmesan and Taleggio cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the potatoes and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
