- Drain them in a colander and leave to steam for a few minutes
- Carefully put the duck fat in the hot tray in the oven and return it to the oven to heat up
- Return the potatoes to the pan and dust with flour, giving them a shake to ‘fluff’ up the sides, be careful not to shake too hard that they fall apart
