Any potato works for air fryer goose fat roast potatoes. However, my top pick is Maris Pipers.
You can spend hours debating which potatoes work best for roast potatoes but my only advice is to use any potatoes you have (not baby spuds or new potatoes).
As you peel and chop make sure you create corners when chopping and prepping your spuds, corners make for crispy roast potatoes.

Available all year round but goose fat always take centre stage at Christmas. Goose fat usually comes in a jar and is quite a thick consistency.
For roast potatoes’ air fryer temperature, you need about 1 heaped spoonful which you will need to melt down in the microwave for a few seconds.

Top Tips
Always pre-boil your roast potatoes, this reduces the cooking time and creates a wonderfully fluffy centre. Of course, you don’t have to. If you cook your potatoes from raw you will need to increase the cooking time.
Once you’ve drained your parboiled potatoes, Add a tablespoon of flour to them and move the potatoes around to rough up the edges and create the crispy bits. These are the bites we all love so much.
Serve your air fryer roast potatoes with fresh herbs, my personal favourite is fresh rosemary and thyme.

Recipe
Air Fryer Goose Fat Potatoes
Equipment
- silicone pastry brush
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes I used Maris Piper
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp goose fat (heaped)
- 1 tbsp plain flour / all purpose flour
Instructions
Par Boil Potatoes
- Peel and chop the potatoes leaving them in chunky pieces. I usally quarter them.
- Add them to a saucepan and cover with water and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water and potatoes to the boil and simmer until you can insert a knife tip easily in.
- Remove from the heat and drain the water.
- Place the potatoes back in the now empty saucepan.
- Add the flour and put the lid on and give the potatoes a good shake to lightly coat them and fluff them up. Leave them to cool until you're 25 minutes from serving.
Air Fry Potatoes in Goose Fat
- Preheat your air fryer to 190ºC/ 350ºF if you need to.
- Melt the goose fat in short bursts in the microwave.
- Use a silicone pastry brush to lightly brush the potatoes with the melted goose fat.
- Put the potatoes in the air fryer basket and slide them into the air fryer.
- Cook for about 20-25 minutes. Make sure you check on them at regular intervals and turn them around so they cook evenly. Depending on the size they might need a few minutes more.
Notes
- You can parboil the potatoes first so they cook even quicker. Normally in about 10 minutes.
- You can cook them from raw but they will take longer.
- Add some fresh herbs to serve. I love a sprig of rosemary.

What an interesting side dish to have. I’ll have to search the market for goose fat. But these potatoes looks really delicious to have.
There is nothing like them! You’ll never want to go back to normal roast potatoes.
I did what you said, and I par boiled them first. They came out so so yummy. We loved them so much that my family is asking that I make them again.
That is wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for letting me know.
These potatoes were amazing, I’m going to make these again for Thanksgiving! The tip about parboiling the potatoes was a great timesaver.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you so much.
We are a potato eating family and this sounds incredible. I am definitely making this for Christmas!
I hope you enjoy them.
Whoa! These potatoes are packed with delicious sweet spice flavor! The air fryer made the recipe so easy, too!
Air fryers are so good for this recipe. I’m glad you liked it.
When i used goose fat for my potatoes the kitchen was filled with this white smoke and potatoes not good only done for 10mins any ideas
That doesn’t sound good. I haven’t ever heard of goose fat smoking. Was it mixed with something else like olive oil? Where did it come from? If it came from the goose it would need to be rendered before using for potatoes.
How much flour please? The flour isn’t part of the ingredients list. Thank you
Thank you so much for telling me. It should 1 tablespoon.
