Air Fryer Duck Fat Potatoes
Everybody loves Dominic’s roast potatoes. They are the best roast potatoes that you will ever try.
Many years ago (before the air fryer) he would roast potatoes in the oven for me and cover them with melted cheese.
I was in food heaven.
People would ask his secret and it was way too much butter. More butter than he would admit to and let’s face it roast potatoes baked in the oven are all about the butter.
I have not had them for many years.
But air fryer duck fat potatoes are the BEST alternative.
Instead of tossing raw air fryer roast potatoes in extra virgin olive oil you use duck fat instead.
They are a creamier fat meaning that you can use less fat than you would with butter for a similar taste.
Whenever I cook air fryer roast duck, I will always save the duck fat, freeze it and then I have a good batch of duck fat for air fryer duck fat potatoes.
What Is Duck Fat Potatoes?
Duck fat potatoes are potatoes that have been cooked in duck fat rather than in oil or butter.
The duck fat works as an alternative to traditional oils and gives you a much better crunch and taste on your roast potatoes.
Have you ever cooked with coconut oil? If so, expect something similar. That same incredibly thick fat that works so well in the air fryer.
I also notice when I wash my hands after cooking with duck fat its that same wonderful feeling on your skin that you get from coconut oil.
Duck Fat Potatoes In Air Fryer
Duck fat potatoes in the air fryer are much easier than cooking duck fat potatoes in the oven.
Instead of oven baking your potatoes they are loaded into the air fryer basket and not long later you have perfectly crispy quick duck fat potatoes.
The cook time for duck fat potatoes in the air fryer is about 80% less of cooking your potatoes in the oven.
Also, if you love duck fat potatoes with garlic and rosemary, then I recommend you follow our air fryer garlic and rosemary roast potatoes and then swap extra virgin olive oil for duck fat.

I mentioned at the beginning of our duck fat potatoes post, that I like to freeze leftover duck fat to use in duck fat potatoes.
- Simply freeze in small containers, remember one lot of duck fat potatoes do not need a lot of duck fat.
- Load into your air fryer baking pan and use the air fryer to defrost, before loading into your air fryer potatoes. I like to defrost for 3 minutes at 160c/320f.

I love these! So crispy and delicious, my only problem is that I struggle with timing when I am also cooking roast meat. But going to start doing the roast in the air fryer oven while i make these in the air fryer basket.
Omg, they were so crispy! I left them in there too long bc it didnt look brown enough,next time will go with the time indicated.
These were next level! Perfectly crispy crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Thank you for the recipe!
