SEARED CRISPY SKIN DUCK BREAST WITH DUCK FAT FRIED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Pat dry the duck breasts with a paper towel.
• Score the duck skin with sharp knife, making sure to not cut into the flesh.
• Season the duck breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Add the potatoes to a pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Using the bottom of a ramekin or your palm, gently smash the potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Starting with a cold and dry oven-safe skillet, place the duck breasts skin side down. Cook for 12-15 minutes over medium heat.
• Flip the breasts over and sear the other side for 1 minute. Flip to the skin side down, and transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast for 4 minutes for medium-rare, or 6 minutes for medium.
• Rest the duck skin-side up for 10 minutes. Do not discard the fat in the pan.
• In a small pot, combine the red wine, chicken stock, orange juice, and honey and reduce by half over medium heat.
• Fry the potatoes with remaining duck fat in the pan, until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and rosemary.
• Slice the duck ½-inch (1 cm) pieces.
• Serve with the sauce and the potatoes.
• Enjoy!

DUCK FAT FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add the potatoes and cook 2 minutes; drain. Put the potatoes, duck fat, chiles, bay leaves, cloves and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Remove the potatoes from the skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking sheet. Broil until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt.

DUCK FAT POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C.
• Toss the potato with the duck fat on a metal baking sheet. Scatter over the salt, pepper, and herbs, if using. Bake the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.

DUCK FAT ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat add the duck skin and water and cook until the water has evaporated, the fat has rendered out of the skin (the yield will range from about 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on the size of the duck), and the skin is brown and crispy. Strain.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck fat, potatoes, garlic, pinch salt, thyme, and rosemary. Toss together to coat well. Cook 5 minutes on the stovetop and then place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
• Serve with a garlic aioli, and garnish with chopped cracklins and sea salt.

DUCK FAT FRIES

Steps:

• Peel the sides of the potatoes but leave some skin on the ends. As you peel, place the potatoes in a bowl filled with cool water. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks (1/8-inch square) and place back into the bowl of clean cool water. Allow the potatoes to sit for 1 hour, changing the water as it becomes cloudy to remove the starch.
• Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy Dutch oven or deep skillet to 325 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes and dry well with paper towels. Carefully add the potatoes to the oil, in batches if necessary, and cook until they just lose their opaque look and are starting to firm up, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
• Heat the duck fat in a heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F; ideally you want the duck fat 3 to 4 inches deep.
• Carefully add the fries to the duck fat and cook until crispy and evenly golden, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with the sea salt or truffle salt.
• Cook's Note: Strain the duck fat through a fine mesh strainer and transfer to a glass container. Keep refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.
