PoulTree Roast Potatoes with Chicken Drippings

Concept: Crispy, golden-brown roast potatoes infused with the rich flavor of chicken drippings collected from your PoulTree roasted chicken.

 

Ingredients:

• 1.5 - 2 lbs (700g - 900g) Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-2 inch chunks
• Drippings from one PoulTree-roasted chicken (approximately 1/4 - 1/2 cup)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for color and a touch of smokiness)
• Fresh herbs (optional - rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped)

Instructions

Get Started:

1. Roast your Chicken: Cook your chicken in the PoulTree as desired, ensuring the roasting pan is positioned underneath to collect all the delicious drippings. Make sure this roasting pan is large enough to accommodate the potatoes later.
2. Preheat Oven & Prep Potatoes: While the chicken is finishing, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven preheats, peel and cut your potatoes into roughly even chunks, about 1-2 inches in size.

Roast with Drippings:

1. Add the Potatoes to the pan: Spread the potatoes in a single layer around the base of the PoulTree.
2. Roast: Place the entire assembly in the preheated oven. Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even browning.
3. Add Herbs (Optional): If using fresh herbs, sprinkle them over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes:

• Don't overcrowd the pan: Ensure the potatoes are in a single layer for optimal crisping.
• Cook potatoes longer: If your chicken finished cooking before your potatoes, remove the chicken and continue roasting the potatoes until proper doneness.
• High heat is key: Don't be afraid to crank up the oven temperature for the last few minutes to get that extra crispy exterior.
