BJ’s Duck Fat Potatoes

I’ve always been a big fan of “home fries”, with their sweet cooked onions and a paprika kick, since they go with anything, anytime. I use our rendered duck fat, along with jalapenos, Old Bay seasoning, and rosemary in the background for these, which are great for breakfast or dinner, even in tacos!

Ingredients
3 large Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and sliced 3/16-1/4 inch (or cubed)
1 large jalapeno cored and chopped
½ red pepper chopped
½ yellow onion chopped
2-3 tbsp duck fat
½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
2 sprigs rosemary
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Place the potatoes in salted water in a large bowl for about 10 minutes, mixing around in the water, then drain and pat dry with a towel-we don’t want water going into the hot fat! For dinner items like duck or steak I slice them, for breakfast or tacos I use cubes, it’s a personal preference.
Add 2 tbsp duck fat into a wide nonstick pan, allow to melt, then add 2 sprigs of rosemary, and allow that to cook until the fat reaches a temperature of 350-375 °F.
Pull the rosemary out and add the potatoes, then cook at medium until they start to brown, turn and continue cooking till they slightly soften, turning often.
Once the potatoes are browned move them to the outside of the pan and add the onions, red pepper, and jalapeno, some salt and pepper and allow to cook another 4-5 minutes, moving them around a couple times. Once the vegetables are translucent add the Old Bay and mix everything together. Recheck for salt, pepper, and Old Bay before serving.
