Preparation: preparing confit duck leg

The meat mixture:

• Clean and slice the onions and carrots
• Warm the duck legs slightly so you can easily separate them from the fat
• Remove the skin, debone the duck and cut into small pieces
• Fry the onions and carrots in a little olive oil until tender
• Add the meat, fry briefly and extinguish the heat

The mash:

• Peel and boil the potatoes until tender
• Mix the potatoes with the butter, milk and egg
• Add the nutmeg, pepper and salt as desired (be careful as the duck confit is already salty)

The gratin:

• Heat the oven to 180°

• Cover with breadcrumbs and a few knobs of butter
• Put in the oven for 20 min

Tip:

Do not throw away the fat from the confit duck legs. You can still use it to fry meat or potato slices.
