Ingredients

1.3kg Asda Extra Special Rudolph Potatoes (or King Edward or Maris Piper Potatoes)

5 tbsp goose fat

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
2
Peel and cut the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks. Cook in a large pan of boiling water for 6 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Put over a low heat to drive off excess water. Shake the pan to rough up the outsides – this will make the potatoes extra crispy when they’re roasting.
3
Put a large roasting tin in the oven with the goose fat to heat. Add the potatoes to the heated fat, turning them to coat well. Roast for 40 minutes.
4
Drain on kitchen paper and leave to cool. Transfer to a container and freeze for up to a month.
5
On the day, put the potatoes in a lightly greased roasting tin and cook in the oven at 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs just before serving, if liked.
