Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 9), cut into 1-inch chunks
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
6 bay leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Kosher salt
6 cups schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) or vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Combine the potatoes, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons salt and enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a paper towel?lined plate with a slotted spoon; gently blot dry (it?s OK if some of the potatoes crumble). Let cool completely.
  • Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Melt the schmaltz in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (you should have about 2 inches in the pot) and heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the potatoes until browned and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to the rack with a slotted spoon and immediately sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in the oven between batches.
  • Add the parsley and sage leaves to the hot schmaltz and fry a few seconds until just crisp. Remove to a paper towel?lined plate with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with salt. Top the potatoes with the fried herbs.

These potatoes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like soggy.

These potatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of oil next time.

These potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not a huge fan of fried potatoes, but these were actually really good. The crispy coating was amazing and the potatoes were cooked perfectly.

The potatoes were a bit bland. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The potatoes were crispy and flavorful, and the herbs and spices gave them a really nice kick.
