Perfect Roast Potatoes by using Goose Fat from Cooks and Co

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. 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!

Follow COOKS&CO’s top five tips below to give your traditional roast spuds the extra wow factor:

• Always par-boil your potatoes first for around 8-10 minutes and make sure they are completely dry before roasting.

• Give the spuds a good shake around before roasting to roughen up the edges and sprinkle them with flour, which will give a lovely crisp exterior and fluffy soft interior.

• Make sure your roasting pan is big! If the potatoes are too close together they will go soggy not crunchy.

• Allow 4 tbsp of goose fat for every 500g of potatoes.

• Heat your goose fat in a heavy pan first until smoking point and then add the par-boiled potatoes. Make sure you don’t stir immediately just leave the potatoes to brown for a few minutes – this is key!

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.
