Yeah, I‘m mainly looking for tricks and techniques from ATK, etc., more than actual recipes. I want to improve what I do, not necessarily change what I do. ATK vids can show me what steps are tripping me up.
Their duck-fat roasted potatoes is a killer. The main things I change are:
1) I use bacon or beef fat instead of duck fat (can’t find duck fat easily). I tried veggie oils, and for whatever reason, they don’t work nearly as well.
2) I use slightly different seasoning
3) I use mini Yukon golds and don’t peel them.

I’m in the D/FW Metroplex- not exactly small town America. It’s here...somewhere. Just never seen it.I roast potatoes a little differently from that, but that's a pretty solid-looking recipe. We could find duck fat in stores around here, pre-pandemic, but we're in the megalopolis, right between DC and Baltimore, so things are easy for us to find, most of the time.

FWIW, I, too, have other tater recipes. But that one has repeatedly proven itself.
