  • After my last roast potato video, it was suggested that I make another but this time using animal fats.
    So here we go with Goose Fat, Duck Fat, Beef Dripping, and Lard.
    All cooked the same way this time:
    45 minutes in a 180°C oven, turning them twice.
    Enjoy!

    We like all kinds of fats for cooking, but hands down favorite for roast potatoes is beef tallow. Another really good show Steve! Take care.

    You could tell Lard was going to win by your little 'chuckle' as you dished them up, even before you'd tasted them! 🤣. They did look the best after the same amount of cooking as the others

      I'm actually glad I did this little test. Before I would fork out (no pun intended!) for a "decent" fat but I now know that I have been wasting money!

    Hi Steve, I have to be honest. My favourite is when I cook my roasties in goose fat, just delicious 😋 thanks for sharing and take care 😊

      Of the ones I've cooked (so far LOL - more to come!) it was the method of cooking that ruined them really, not the oil or fat. Love 'em all LOL

    Yep….lard every time for me, always use lard for roasties and chips - in fact it’s my go to for frying everything, we never changed over to veg oils, don’t mind a bit of olive oil, glad we didn’t change cos I’m hearing so much bad stuff about veg oil’s lately. Thanks 😊

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes, some veg oils are pretty bad! For us, and the environment!

    I love roast potatoes and would eat them every day 😊 I wonder though if some of the results are also down to the ovens, as we know all ovens are different and produce different results. I have found after trying different fats and oils that I get the best results using goose fat and in a normal electric oven cooked at 200c for 40mins mine are crispy and taste better than the other oils and fats. I know this is all a bit of fun, but it just shows even doing a fun trial how cooking is not an exact science and results vary so much, plus of course we all have different tastes and what one person likes another will not. I love your cooking videos and find them full of great ideas.

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers  6 місяців тому

      Cheers Liz. That that is certainly true. I prefer to cook them a bit hotter but the only problem with that is if you are doing some meat at the same time (then again, i do have two ovens LOL)
      I have bought a temperature probe with a flylead so I can check my oven temperature (after doing these potato videos as there was a bit of difference with the ovens!)
      Very interesting results: The Sage Combi was always 10°C colder than set point and when food is put in, it takes 5 mins to get back to that temperature. The Panasonic - well, WOW, so clever. It get to the exact set point but when you put food in, it quickly heats up to set point +15°C for 5 minutes and then drops back to whatever it should be! The effect of putting a cold dish in is nullified!

    Now we are talking proper roasties, lard would get my vote. Must admit I have never used glass/pyrex for roasting always thought metal tins best. I try and avoid veg oils the processing of some of them is not very good for the environment

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers  6 місяців тому

      Yes, some veg oils are not very green! I only used the glass dish this time round as it was nice and small & I was only cooking half a dozen of each. I prefer a tray for fan ovens as the "wind" cooks the sides quicker.
      Have a great weekend Bea.

    McDonalds used to cook there fries in lard...then when they went all healthy there was an uproar for awhile because they didn't taste as good.

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers  6 місяців тому +1

      I never knew that! When I used to grab a burger, I preferred Burger King (or Wendys - but there's only 22 of them in the UK!). I think their fries tasted nicer.

      The first McDonalds was not too far from us here in Chicagoland. It was demolished just a few years back....having been a museum for years.
      Hamburger University is in Downtown Chicago...training for managers etc..
      Honestly, we only stop at one in a real pinch these days. I could actually walk to one, if. I really wanted to. 🙂🍔
