Duck-Fat Home Fries

 

From Fred Thompson's Southern Sides.

 Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons rendered duck fat

4 large Yukon Gold potatoes ( or 2 russet potatoes) cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 teaspoons of Cajun or southwest seasoning blend

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, white and green part

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

 Directions:

Melt the duck fat in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add potatoes to the pan in an even layer. cook for about 4 minutes until they start to brown. Turn potatoes with a spatula and cook for another 4 minutes.

Sprinkle the seasoning over the potatoes and shake the pan to keep the potatoes loose. Cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Add the green onions and toss. Cook for 3 more minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Throw in the butter, swirling it to coat the potatoes.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.  Potatoes can be reheated in duck fat.
