2. Drain in a colander and leave them to steam dry for two minutes. Gently shake the colander a few times to rough up the edges of the potatoes. This step will give you maximum surface area for a crispy outside.
3. Spoon the goose fat or butter and one tablespoon of oil into your biggest roasting tray. Add in the potatoes, a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then toss to coat the potatoes in the oil and seasoning. Spread the potatoes out in one even layer but leave small gaps between them.
4. Cover and keep in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n\n
