Air frying in duck fat gets the potatoes crispy and golden brown on the outside with super creamy centers. Smoked paprika adds a nice kick.
Anything cooked in duck fat is utterly delicious. It has a luxurious taste for a fat and a high smoke point.
Meyer lemon really amplifies the flavor and balances the duck fat. Never underestimate the power of an acid in a dish.
