Over-indulgent and yes - divine.

Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized starchy potatoes
• 4 bay leaves
• 100 grams duck fat, melted
• 1 teaspoon flaky salt

Method

1. Preheat to the oven to 200°C.
2. Peel the potatoes and take a thin slice from the base of each so that the potatoes sit steadily on a base. Place two chopsticks on a chopping board either side of the potato. Use a sharp small knife to cut this slices through the potato, stopping at the chopping sticks, which prevent you slicing right through the potato.
3. Place a bay leaf in the centre slice of each potato. And toss in the melted fat and salt. Arrange on a baking tray.
4. Bake on an oven tray in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until cooked, golden and crispy.
