Follow these simple steps to get the best potato piles

Piles of duck fat potatoes

First, pick your potatoes. Ideally you want them to be more or less the same size. Wash and dry the potatoes. Now make sure you have a sharp knife or mandolin. Want the potatoes to be sliced ​​as thinly as possible and in a similar thickness. If you use a knife, it may take a little practice before you do it right. Place the sliced ​​potatoes in a large bowl.

Now add the onion, garlic, rosemary and duck fat to the pan and melt it over low heat until it starts to bubble. Low heat is important to make onions sweat. You also do not want to burn the garlic! The taste of burnt garlic is bitter and loses its flavor. After the mixture bubbles for a few minutes remove the pan from the heat and pour it over the sliced ​​potatoes. Toss well so that each slice is coated in duck fat.

The next step is to take a muffin tin and grease it. I usually add a little duck fat to the same pan and melt it. I then brush the sides of the muffin tin with grease. Lay the potato slices one by one right on top. Once in the oven the potatoes will start to shrink so want to fill the muffin tins to the brim. Now they go into the oven with the foil laid over. In the middle of cooking, remove the foil and bake until golden and crispy at the edges.
