*This recipe for hasselback potatoes is gluten-free according to industry standards

Ingredients

floury potatoes 1.5kg
rosemary 8 sprigs
duck fat 120ml, at room temperature
garlic 2 cloves, crushed
sea salt

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put a potato on the chopping board with a wooden spoon running along its base closest to you.
Step 2

Slice the potato every 3mm, using the wooden spoon’s handle to ensure you don’t cut all the way through the potato.
Step 3

Repeat with all of the potatoes. Remove the leaves from 4 sprigs of rosemary and push between a few slices of each potato and add the rest to a roasting tin.
Step 4

Mix the duck fat and garlic in a small bowl and pour over the potatoes, ensuring the fat gets between the layers.
Step 5

Roast for 15 minutes, then remove and baste each potato, separating the layers with a knife to ensure fat gets between each slice.
Step 6

Return to the oven and repeat twice more, adding the rest of the rosemary for the last 15 minutes of cooking. Season well with sea salt before serving.
