Decadent Roast Potatoes Recipe sylinen

• 2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as Yukon Golds
• 2-3 shallots
• 1 tablespoon duck fat or 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) square.
2. For small potatoes this is usually quartered, for larger potatoes you may need to cut them into eighths.
3. Do not be so concerned with the exact size, the point is to make them bite sized.
4. Season the potatoes all over with salt and pepper.
5. Peel the shallots and mince them finely.
6. Add the fat or oil to a large skillet over high heat.
7. When the fat or oil is up to temperature add the potatoes and shallots to the skillet.
8. Fry the potatoes and shallots for 3-4 minutes, tossing the skillet to get even browning of the potatoes.
9. Add the butter to the skillet and toss to melt it.
10. Put the skillet into a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.
11. The potatoes are done when a fork can be inserted into the potatoes and withdrawn without sticking.
