Confit Potatoes?

[klflowers]

Damn. Excuse my language, but... damn.

OMGoodness. I don't even like potatoes (besides frites and loaded potato skins) and this sounds wicked good to me. Especially with the duck fat option.

I used Kirkland EVOO

[CaptainMike]

Did you use evoo or regular olive oil?

[CaptainMike]

Yeah, my comment was pointed a both "Erik(c)'s"

[ofelles]

That sounds really good. I've done the duck legs. Also garlic this way. Potatoes next

[ecowper]

Oh yeah, I didn't toss the olive oil at the end. I've got it in a jar in the pantry now. Cause it's full of rosemary and garlic! Gonna use it for general cooking purposes.

That's just what I did HouseHomey ..... and it was amazing. Next time, I'm going to do it with duck fat #NOM

CaptainMike I wish I could

I was pondering things to do with potatoes that would be different. Stumbled across the idea that you could do confit with things other than duck. Decided to try it. Turned out great.

Thank you for another bucket-list idea. Never heard of that before.
Happy Grilling to you.

You know, I've been wondering what it would take to convince a certain "Erik" to consider traveling to a certain "Meat Up In Texas". Perhaps a long shot, perhaps not. One never knows until one queries.

So... what you are saying is that you took a new/non starchy potato and steeped it in a full flavored evoo, herbs and an aromatic?

Did I get that right?

No damn wonder why your chili is so freeking Amazing.

May I please suggest some smoked sea salt to those taters or actual duck fat? Sir, you are simply "dialed in" when cooking that simple with great technique.

Carry on fine sir.

Okay, so just tried this for the first time ever. And it came out pretty damn good. Sorry, no pictures yet.

Cook potatoes like you were making Duck Confit. Yep, that simple. They turn out stupid good. After reading a couple different websites, this is what I did

1. Got a pound of baby potatoes …. Like fingerlings, for example. Basically, no more than 1” in diameter.
2. Washed them well, put them in a small baking dish, added a couple cut in half garlic cloves and a couple sprigs of rosemary
3. Covered potatoes with olive oil until fully covered by 1/2” over the top
4. Put in oven, uncovered, at 225F for 2 hours … yes, 2 hours
5. Pulled from oven, pulled potatoes from the oil, salted with kosher salt, and then served along side cod fried in butter, lemon, garlic, and some sautéed green beans.

The potatoes were outstanding! Like the best baked potatoes, but still firm and crunchy skin.

Seriously, it’s an amazing way to cook. I’m going to explore this more
