How To Make yummy chicken fat potato wedges
-
1PREP/PREPARE
-
2Chef’s Note: You can actually buy chicken fat; however, the next time you’re boiling a fryer for some chicken stock, scoop off that chicken fat and save it for other uses… like making potato wedges.
-
3Gather your ingredients.
-
4Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 450f (230c).
-
5Put a pot over medium-high heat and add about 6 quarts (5.5liters) of water.
-
6Bring to the boil, add the salt, and stir to combine.
-
7Carefully add the potatoes, and return the water to a boil.
-
8Chef’s Note: Allow the potatoes to boil for one minute.
-
9Drain the potatoes.
-
10Place the potatoes into the dry pot and cook over medium heat for a minute or two, until they are dry.
-
11Chef’s Note: Bang the pot around a bit to ruff up the potatoes.
-
12Add the chicken fat, and a bit of salt and pepper, and then gently toss until the potatoes are evenly covered in the chicken fat.
-
13Add the potatoes to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
14Place in the preheated oven and allow them to bake until beginning to brown, about 20 minutes.
-
15Toss, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
-
16Toss, again, and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
-
17PLATE/PRESENT
