Preheat the oven to 200CFan/220C.
Peel and chop the potatoes into 4-5cm chunks. Par boil the potatoes for 10 minutes until the edges are just starting to roughen up.
While the potatoes are par boiling, add the goose fat to a medium sized roasting tray, large enough that the potatoes can lay flat without overcrowding the tray. Place the tray into the hot oven and allow the fat to heat up.
Drain and toss the potatoes either in a sieve or shake in the pan with a lid on. You want to roughen up the outside of the potatoes so that there is more area exposed to ensure a crispy outside crust.
When the fat is hot, carefully remove the tray from the oven and place the potatoes in the tray. The potatoes will sizzle in the oil. TAKE CARE NOT TO DUMP THE POTATOES AS YOU CAN BURN YOURSELF WITH HOT FAT.
Season well with salt and black pepper. Place the tray back into the oven and roast for 45 minutes, turning the potatoes half way to crisp up the entire potato.
Once golden and cooked through, carefully remove the potatoes from the hot fat and place them in a bowl lined with kitchen paper which will absorb any excess fat. Serve immediately.
