How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.

    Wash them in cold water.

  2. 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. 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.

    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. 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. 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. 7
