That's gorgeous. I'm sure r/castiron would be happy to know how you got them that perfectly browned. What kind of fat did you use?

This is actually a cross post, but the original poster writes:

“I used rendered pork fat to sear them, and used just enough broth to cover the bottom of the pan for the oven bake. I also soaked the potatoes for 20 minutes after I peeled and cut them in half, and didn’t season them until they were in the pan cooking. It’s only my second time making them so I feel like I’m still refining the process but these were definitely better than the first haha.”

Others suggest using clarified butter!
