Sage-roasted smashed potatoes

American 20 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook


  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Place a large tray in the oven to preheat.
  2. Halve or quarter the potatoes, keeping them all roughly the same size.
  3. Parboil them in a pot of water seasoned with 2 tsp of sea salt for approx. 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool in the colander. Once cool, give the potatoes a shake in the colander to roughen up the edges (this makes them super crispy).
  5. Place the duck or goose fat in the preheated tray and leave to melt. Once melted, add the potatoes to the tray in an even layer.
  6. Halve the head of garlic and add to the tray with the potatoes. Roast in the oven for approx. 1 hour, or until golden and crisp, turning the potatoes now and then to ensure even browning.
  7. Remove the tray from the oven and using a large spoon or the base of a glass, gently press down on the potatoes.
  8. Toss the sage leaves in the olive oil and add them to the tray. Place the tray in the oven for a further 20-25 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately.
