## Ingredients

- 2000 g Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
- 30 g Trex baking fat
- 15 g butter
- 5 g salt
- 5 g fresh rosemary, finely diced
- 5 g fresh thyme, finely diced
- 5 g fresh chives, finely diced
- 5 g fresh parsley, finely diced
- 5 g crushed black pepper
- 6 × garlic, crushed
- 15 g cornstarch

## Method

1. **Prepare the potatoes** Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Wash them in cold water.
2. **Parboil the potatoes** In a pan, parboil the potatoes with salt for 20 minutes. Optionally add a stock cube or baking soda to the water.
3. **Heat the fat** In a large roasting pan, add the baking fat and butter with a pinch of salt. Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Heat the roasting pan in the oven for 10 minutes so it is ready right before the potatoes are done.
4. **Dry and ruffle the potatoes** Strain the potatoes and let them sit for 5 minutes to dry out. Add a sprinkle of cornstarch. With the pan lid on, gently shake the pan to ruffle up the potatoes and edges and evenly coat the flour.
5. **Coat in hot fat** Add the potatoes to the hot fat, it should sizzle. Give them plenty of space and coat the fat around the potatoes.
6. **Roast the potatoes** Bake at 190 °C for 95 to 100 minutes. Every 20 to 30 minutes, take the potatoes out and toss them around to roast evenly on each side. After 50 to 60 minutes, add the fresh herbs and crushed garlic and put back into the oven.
7. **Finish and serve** Once fully roasted, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the fresh herbs.
