15-Hour TikTok Potatoes
This recipe makes stacks of crispy geometric potatoes.
Equipment
- loaf pan, 8½" x 4½"
- mandolin
- parchment paper
- 2-qt. heavy-bottomed saucepan
Ingredients
- 5 Yukon Gold potatoes medium
- 1½ tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/4 C. duck fat
- peanut oil for deep frying
Instructions
Initial Baking
- Preheat oven to 250℉.
- Peel and wash five medium-sized Yukon gold potatoes.
- Use a mandolin to thinly slice the potatoes.
- Pour a quarter cup of duck fat into a large bowl. If your duck fat is solid, warm it in a microwave for a few seconds.
- Add your sliced potatoes and one teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Toss well making sure every slice is coated in fat.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Carefully layer potato slices, compressing layers and making sure there is duck fat between each layer.
- Cover the top with parchment paper and place in a preheated 250℉ /120℃ oven and bake for three hours (or until a knife pierces through the middle very easily.)
Resting
- Once the potatoes have finished baking, stack a second loaf pan on top of the parchment paper and weigh it down with some cans of food.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill it for 12 hours.
Deep Frying
- In a small saucepan, heat about an inch and a half of peanut oil to 375˚F/190℃.
- While the oil is heating, unmold the layered potatoes and cut them into cubes.
- With a large metal spoon lower potato stacks into the hot oil. You may have to gently nudge them off the bottom from time to time so they don’t stick.
- Deep fry for 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Sprinkled with kosher salt and enjoy!
