Featuring pancetta, gremolata, leeks and loads of parmesan, this fresh take on a Sunday dinner classic is really going to change how you look at roast potatoes. It's bright, zesty but also crunchy and delicious. All in all, we think it's a pretty strong argument for jazzing up an old favourite. Just be warned, they won't last long on the dinner table!
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
First up, peed and cut the potatoes into roastie sized chunks.
Place them in a large pan of water with the salt and bring to a simmer. Cook until the outsides are capable of fluffing up, roughly 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, get a sturdy baking tray and heat up the duck fat. When it's really hot, pour the cooked potatoes on top. Roast for around 40 mins,
Fry the pancetta until crispy and set aside.
Slice the whites of the leek, season and sprinkle with olive oil. Roast until cooked through.
Combine the parsley, lemon zest and garlic.
Combine everything and serve immediately, either with a roast or something more low key.
