Cooking duck breast might be scary, but it really shouldn’t. Duck is rich and fatty, and it’s hard to get it wrong. To turn a few duck breasts into a restaurant-quality meal, though, you’ll need a reliable recipe. Well, here’s ours. Let’s pan-sear and roast our duck breasts and serve them with a side of decadent duck-fat fries.

Ingredients:

For the fries:

  • 1 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cut into canes.
  • 1 cup duck fat
  • Sea salt to taste

For the duck breast:

  • 2 duck breasts
  • 1 tbsp rosemary
  • Salt and pepper as needed

Directions:

  1. For the fries, rinse the cut potatoes under cold running water for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the fries. Cook for 5 minutes, drain and pat dry.
  3. In a skillet over high heat, melt the duck fat and heat to 375°F or until really hot.
  4. Fry the potatoes without overcrowding the pan until golden. Set aside over a platter lined with paper towels. Transfer to a bowl and toss with sea salt.
  5. Pour out the duck fat, saving two tablespoons of melted fat.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  7. Pat dry the duck breasts and score the skin with a knife. Rub with salt, rosemary and pepper.
  8. In the same skillet, with the reserved duck fat, sear the duck breasts skin side down for 10-12 minutes. Flip and sear for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Transfer the breasts to an oven-safe roasting pan and place them in the oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes or until the core temperature reaches 135°F-140°F.
  10. Serve the roasted duck breasts with a side of duck-fat fries.
