Critical Success Points

  • Soaking potatoes overnight to remove excess starch
  • Boiling until very soft but not falling apart
  • Steam‑drying to create a rough surface
  • Heating the duck/goose fat to near smoke point before coating
  • Roasting without excessive turning to preserve ridges

Safety Warnings

  • Hot fat can reach temperatures above its smoke point – wear kitchen gloves and keep a lid nearby.
  • Never leave the hot fat unattended; it can ignite.
  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot roasting tray.
