The Best Roast Potatoes

Description
This makes the best roast potatoes in the whole world—crunchy and crisp on the outside, fluffy and moist on the inside. I never make them any other way. This serves 8 to 10, so it can be scaled down as necessary.
Ingredients
- 2-½ pounds Potatoes
- 1 Tablespoon Semolina
- 11 ounces, weight Goose Fat
Preparation
Preheat the oven to its hottest temperature. Peel and cut the potatoes, pop them in a saucepan of cold salted water and boil for 4 minutes.
Drain them, then put them back into the now-empty saucepan.
Sprinkle in the semolina, put the lid on the saucepan and shake it around until the potatoes are covered in semolina and starting to disintegrate a little at the edges (this crisps them up).
Put the goose fat (or you can substitute oil, but it won’t be as nice) in a roasting tin and heat in the oven until it is very hot.
Put the potatoes in the tin and roast them for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning halfway through cooking.

Sounds intriguing! I love a potato that’s crispy yet fluffy, thanks for sharing.
