The definitive roast potato. Cape Grim Beef Tallow produces a golden, crisp crust and rich flavour that cooking oils can’t quite replicate.

Serves
4 - 6
- 1-1.2kg Sebago potatoes (brushed potatoes), peeled or well washed
- 4 tablespoon Cape Grim Beef Tallow (solid or melted)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black peppe
- Optional fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme or parsley)
- Extra sea salt
- Fresh herbs, finely chopped
- 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a large roasting tray in the oven with the tallow to heat.
- 2 Cut the potatoes into large, even chunks. Place into a pot of salted water and bring to the boil. Parboil for 8-10 minutes until the edges are softened but the centres still hold their shape.
- 3 Drain well, then return the potatoes to the colander and shake gently to rough up the edges. This creates the fluffy exterior that crisps up in the oven.
- 4 Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven. Add the potatoes and toss well in the hot tallow until fully coated.
- 5 Roast for 40-50 minutes, turning once or twice, until deeply golden, crispy on the edges and fluffy in the centre.
- 6 Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper and serve immediately.
- 1 For extra crunch, allow the potatoes to steam dry for a few minutes before tossing in the tallow.
- 2 Do not overcrowd the tray, as this will cause the potatoes to steam rather than roast.
- 3 You can infuse the tallow with garlic or herbs while heating for added flavour.
- 1 Serve alongside roasted beef, steaks or grilled vegetables. Also perfect as a base for loaded potatoes with sour cream, herbs or slow-cooked beef recipes
