Ingredients
- 2 piece duck breast
Instructions
- 1Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels and score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
- 2Season both sides of the duck breasts generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 3Place a cold, dry skillet over medium‑high heat; when hot, add the duck breasts skin‑side down without any added oil.
- 4Cook the duck breasts for 6‑8 minutes, allowing the fat to render and the skin to become deep golden and crisp; press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan.
- 5Flip the breasts and continue cooking skin‑side up for another 4‑5 minutes for medium‑rare, or longer if a more well‑done finish is desired.
- 6Transfer the duck breasts to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes; this helps retain juices when sliced.
- 7While the duck rests, preheat the oven to 392°F (390°F) and spread frozen or freshly cut potatoes on a baking sheet; toss with a little oil, salt, and pepper.
- 8Roast the potatoes for 20‑25 minutes, turning halfway, until they are golden and crisp.
- 9Slice the rested duck breasts thinly on the bias and arrange on a serving platter.
- 10Serve the sliced duck alongside the hot fries, optionally drizzling a light vinaigrette or herb‑infused oil over the potatoes for extra flavor.
- 11Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives and enjoy immediately.
