Well if you have missed all the buzz about Goose Fat for your roast potatoes, where have you been. Nigella caused a massive sales increase a few years ago when she swore by using it, supermarkets sold out. I know I was most disappointed not to try it.
Well its sold all year round now, I know last year I bought mine in October just to be stocked and ready, then we used it all up by November because its just so marvellous.
I kid you not it makes roast potatoes become the star of the roast dinner.
I have just discussed my roasties in the Good Natured Splendid Spuds post, but here are my tips again.
Get the goose fat smokin!!
I heat mine in the oven then put onto a burner to keep it sizzling as I add the potatoes, works well with parsnips too.

Parboil good potatoes that are suitable for roast, drain then put on the hob with a lid and dry over a hot heat shaking the pan vigorously to get them roughed up. Then add a good spoon of seasoned flour or semolina (yes seriously) to coat them.
Shake them to coat and then tip carefully into the piping hot fat and dont touch them too much as they sizzle. Then straight into the oven on a good high heat we do ours at Gas Mark 7 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Then eat they are gorgeous cold as well the goose fat gives them a real tastiness.
Exploding in popularity over recent years as the ultimate Christmas cooking companion, goose fat is a must have product for making extra delicious dishes this festive season. To help budding chefs and food lovers, fine food producer COOKS&CO has launched its new premium Pure Goose Fat, which will be hitting the shelves from October 2010. At £2.49 RSP for a 320g jar, COOKS&CO Pure Goose Fat is priced at £1 per jar lower than most other brands, making it an affordable addition to your Christmas shopping list.
Well known as the key to heavenly roast tatties, goose fat has a high burning point which results in crunchy, golden and richly flavoured potatoes. Best of all, goose fat also has a lower proportion of saturated fatty acids compared to other animal fats such as butter and lard – so you can add slightly more generous helpings without feeling too guilty!
All other root vegetables accompanying your main dish are delicious cooked this way too, especially parsnips. Don’t save it just for vegetables though, COOKS&CO Pure Goose Fat lends a lovely flavour to a whole host of festive treats and is especially handy for keeping turkey breast tender.
