Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 20 min.
Peel 3 kgs potatoes, cut into medium-sized pieces, rinse and dry.
Stage 2 - 30 min.
Melt 9 tablespoons goose fat in a non-stick pan over medium heat, then tip in the potatoes. Stir to coat with melted fat. Do not salt.
Cover, turn down heat and leave to cook 30 minutes.
Cover, turn down heat and leave to cook 30 minutes.
Stage 3 - 5 min.
After this time, salt and pepper, then shake or stir to bring potatoes that are already fried up to the top.
It's better to not use a spoon or spatula to avoid breaking the potatoes, but if you use one, do it gently.
Leave to cook another 5 minutes.

Stage 4 - 20 min.
Repeat this operation until potatoes are fried and browned all over.
Stage 5 - 5 min.
Stage 6 - 3 min.
If you are greedy like me, scatter a few slices of foie gras in the pan (to your liking) and stir to melt.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Just before serving, add the mix of chopped herbs and stir well.
Stage 8
Serve on its own (it's quite filling), or to accompany a meat dish for example.
Remarks
For the perfect dish, use duck fat saved from cooking home made terrine of foie gras.
As usual with traditional regional recipes, I do not claim that this is "THE" recipe for Sarladaise potatoes, just that it's "ONE", my own version.

How to prepare tomatoes
Yes, I know you will say to me: why peel tomatoes? The answer is very simple: it's much better, gives a better texture, softer in the mouth. The skin is tough, adds nothing to the taste (and you will have noticed that commercial tomatoes have practically no taste), and finally it's there (on/under the skin) that the awful chemical products that the fruit receive during growth, are concentrated (treatments, pesticides, etc...).
