Oven Potatoes with Sage and Orange

My ex-partner was our family’s oven-potato master for years. His secret was a good Jamie Oliver recipe that he had mastered exceptionally well. The problem, however, was that those delicious potatoes always took a terribly long time—
it wasn’t unusual that by the time the potatoes were ready, the roast had long been eaten… So this recipe is inspired by the food guru Oliver, but simplified a bit. As the fat, use the leftovers from the duck confit recipe.

• 1.2 kg potatoes
• 3 tbsp goose or duck fat

1. Peel the potatoes and boil them in water for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking tray with high sides.
2. In a mortar, mix the goose fat, sage, orange zest, and salt-pepper, lightly bruising the sage and orange zest with the pestle.
