| Slice the potatoes thin and wash in cold water to rid them of starch. Drain them. Spread a tablespoon of goose fat in a flame and ovenproof dish. Make three layers of potatoes, sprinkled with salt and pepper, half the herbs and minced garlic in the dish. Don't add any more herbs: they must perfume the dish, but not too strongly. End with a layer of potatoes, lightly sprinkled with salt and pepper and some more goose fat. Add enough water to nearly cover the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the dish over moderate heat on top of the stove and bring to a boil. Cook until the water has evaporated. Bake the potatoes until the surface is golden, then turn down the heat to 300F and bake another 20 minutes. Serve with grilled and roasted meat. | Ingredients:
