Sarladaise potatoes are a traditional dish from the Sarlat region of France that you can’t help but fall in love with. It is one of those deeply rich and comforting dishes that you are definitely want to make enough for seconds.
To make sarladaise potatoes, you traditionally need duck fat, but as that is not the easiest ingredient to find, I’ve also made this recipe using clarified butter.

The combination of potatoes and butter melds together for a rich, satisfying flavor that the whole family is sure to love. Simply peel and slice the potatoes, and then boil them until cooked.
Once the potatoes are done, fry them in the butter or goose fat along with the peas and mushroom until everything is cooked through and crispy on the outside.
This versatile dish can be enjoyed by itself or as a side dish alongside a variety of meats, such as roast pork or roast chicken. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a novice in the kitchen, this is one dish that is going to impress.
