Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head garlic cloves peeled (reserve 1 clove aside, minced)
  • ¼ cup duck fat
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • 2 lbs yellow potatoes cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoon semolina ground
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds toasted and lightly crushed
  • 1 tablespoon rose harissa
  • ¼ cup Kewpie mayo
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Flaky sea salt to finish

Equipment

  • Medium ovenproof saucepan with lid
  • Small bowl for garlic mayo
  • Colander or sieve
  • Large parchment-lined baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic cloves in a small ovenproof saucepan with duck fat, rosemary, and thyme. Cover and bake 40 minutes until garlic is soft and caramelized. Remove, strain fat into a heatproof jar, and keep aside. Set garlic and herbs aside. Increase oven to 425°F.
  2. Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil. Add potatoes and boil for 10 minutes until half-cooked. Drain and shake potatoes to fluff edges. Set in a colander to dry about 10 minutes.
  3. Toss potatoes in a bowl with duck fat, semolina, caraway seeds, harissa, and 2 teaspoon salt. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast 45 minutes, turning potatoes once or twice, until golden brown.
  4. Stir in the confit garlic and herbs. Roast another 10-15 minutes until dark golden and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, make garlic mayo by combining minced garlic clove and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes, then stir in mayo.
  6. When potatoes are done, sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with garlic mayo on the side.
