Instructions

Step 1

Peel potatoes and slice crosswise into rounds about J" thick. Rinse, drain well, and pat dry between layers of paper towels.

Step 2

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add goose fat and heat until melted and warm. Add potatoes and gently stir to evenly coat with fat. Cook potatoes, stirring them and shaking skillet over heat occasionally, until crisp and deep golden brown around the edges and tender in the center, 10–15 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Combine parsley and garlic in a small bowl, then scatter over potatoes in skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
