# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Slice each potato in half lengthwise to create flat ovals. Place each half flat side down on a cutting board, position chopsticks or skewers on both sides of the potato, and use a sharp knife to make thin slices, approximately 3 mm thick, stopping at the chopsticks so not to cut through.
02 -
Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon duck fat over the paper, then sprinkle 120 grams of parmesan cheese along with 0.25 teaspoon sea salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper in an even layer.
03 -
Place each potato half cut side down onto the prepared cheese layer. Brush the tops and sides of the potatoes with melted duck fat, then season with remaining sea salt and black pepper.
04 -
Bake the prepared potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
05 -
After 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and baste the potatoes generously with duck fat collected in the tray. Scatter crushed garlic over the potatoes.
06 -
Continue baking for an additional 25–30 minutes until potatoes are golden crisp on the exterior and soft through the centre.
07 -
Transfer potatoes to a serving platter. Top with extra parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of fresh rosemary before serving.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
For ultra-thin, even slices, use a sharp knife and stabilise potatoes securely between chopsticks or skewers.
02 -
Basting with duck fat during roasting ensures layers are crisp and evenly golden.
