Calories: 273kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoon duck fat or olive oil
- 4 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Cut potatoes to roughly ½ inch thick by 1-2 inch wide pieces. Note: you can peel the potatoes first if you prefer no potato skins, but this is not necessary.
- Add potatoes to a large pot. Then, fill with cold water until the potatoes are covered with about 1" of water over them. Then, add baking soda and 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of salt and stir.
- Bring the water to a boil. Then, reduce to a simmer on medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes test that you can insert a fork into one of the potato pieces with little resistance. This is how you know they're done. Once done, drain the potatoes.
- Mix duck fat (or olive oil) and spices together in a large bowl. Then, add potatoes and mix to fully coat the surface of the potatoes.
- Place potatoes in a single layer on a baking rack with a large baking tray underneath. Then, bake for 45 minutes. Note: if you don't have a baking rack you can roast the potatoes directly on a sheet pan or large roasting pan. Just be sure to flip them half way through cooking if you do this.
- Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!

From fridge: Reheat in the oven at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. You can also reheat in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 3 minutes. Although you can reheat in the microwave, we do not recommend this method because it will cause the potatoes to lose some of their crispy exteriors!
