Notes

NOW THAT YOU OWN SOME DUCK FAT
You just purchased a piece of heaven! It’s rich & smooth without an overpowering flavor of its own. It will transform any dish you add it to. I didn’t want to overwhelm you with duck fat in these recipes and kept the butter in the potatoes. But, duck fat is absolutely perfect in potatoes. Use the same proportion you use of butter or any other oil. To transform it into a liquid form, just lightly warm it.
