Preparing the Potatoes
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 220C/440F and line a large baking tray with parchment. Bring a large pot of water onto the boil. Peel potatoes and cut into chunks. When water is boiling add salt, bicarb and potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or until you can slide a knife in easily.
Seasoning and Roasting
Step 2 - Drain and run water over the potatoes and drain and then put the pot and potatoes back on the heat to evaporate any water. Heat the duck fat, pork fat, garlic and sugar and toss the potatoes gently in the fat and then transfer to the lined baking tray.
