Bring the water in a large pot to a full boil while prepping the potatoes.

Once the water is boiling, add a teaspoon of salt to the water then use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the potatoes into the boiling water. Set a timer and cook for 8 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450°F (200°C)

Drain the potatoes well, return to the pot and drizzle with duck fat; carefully turn the potatoes to ensure they are all coated.

Transfer the potatoes to a lined baking sheet in a single layer then season with a bit of salt and pepper. Roast 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. May turn potatoes half way through cooking if desired. Season with more salt as soon as the potatoes are taken out of the oven then serve.
