Rub Potatoes with Duck fat, Sea salt, and Freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until Potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the Pickled Red Onions. Combine all Pickled Red Onions ingredients in a jar or bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, shaking or stirring occasionally.
Prepare the Short Ribs. Season Short Ribs with Salt and Black pepper. Heat Olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear Short Ribs on all sides until browned. Remove Short Ribs from the pot and set aside.
Add Onion, Carrots, and Celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Remove Short Ribs from the pot and shred with two forks. Strain the braising liquid and return it to the pot. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half. Return the shredded Short Ribs to the sauce and keep warm.
Prepare the Smoked Gouda Béchamel. Melt Butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in All-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in Whole milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in Smoked Gouda cheese, Nutmeg, Salt, and White pepper until the cheese is melted and smooth.
