Did a test batch two weeks ago when I par boiled with baking soda for 10 minutes and the crunchiness was out of this world but I lost a lot of volume from scruffing the boiled potatoes.

This time (pictured) I just boiled for 8min with baking soda.

I also coated potatoes with umami seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, old bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

Cooked in duck fat at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 1hr

Turned out perfect 🙂

Used reddit posts and replies to formulate the recipe so thank you all!!

    Looks great. 1 hr at 450F seems like a long time.

    They need to be like 20% crispier, but I bet they tasted damn good regardless.

  3. They look great!
    About how much (volume?) duck fat did you use for this amount of potatoes? And did the duck flavour stand up to the additional seasonings?
