Danish Grilled Duck Fat Potatoes

Introduction

Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these Danish-style grilled potatoes are cooked to perfection in rich duck fat on the Arteflame grill. By utilizing the hot center grill grate and surrounding griddle, you achieve a beautiful golden crust while infusing the potatoes with incredible flavor. Cooking everything on the flat steel cooktop ensures even heating without burning, making these potatoes the ultimate side dish for any grilled meal.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup duck fat
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins in the center of the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes for optimal cooking temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the potatoes

1. While the grill is heating, toss the halved baby potatoes in duck fat, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary.

Step 3: Start grilling the potatoes

1. Place the potatoes cut-side down directly onto the hot flat cooktop, closer to the center for a quick sear.
2. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Finish cooking at a lower heat zone

1. Move the potatoes towards the outer edges of the flat cooktop where the heat is lower.
2. Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are tender inside.

Step 5: Add final touches

1. Dot the potatoes with butter and let it melt over them.
2. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing them in duck fat.
• Adjust the heat by moving the potatoes between hotter and cooler zones on the Arteflame cooktop.
• Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor, adding them in the last few minutes of cooking.

Variations

1. Smoky Paprika: Add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
2. Garlic Parmesan: Toss the finished potatoes with grated Parmesan and minced garlic.
3. Herby Delight: Use a mix of thyme, rosemary, and oregano for extra aromatic depth.
4. Spicy Kick: Add red chili flakes or cayenne for a bit of heat.
5. Lemon Zest: Finish with fresh lemon zest for a bright, citrusy touch.
