Chef’s Tips

• Obviously, this recipe is NOT vegan or vegetarian if you use duck fat. You can substitute it with oil if you’d rather this recipe be totally vegan!
• Fingerling potatoes shouldn’t be confused with new potatoes, although they’re both small. While new potatoes are immature potatoes, fingerling potatoes are fully mature. Fingerling potatoes taste similar to a fully grown regular potato, while new potatoes have a much milder flavor. You can use new potatoes if you can’t find fingerling, although they will taste a bit different!
