Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 Fahrenheit).
- Place the cubed peeled potatoes in a bowl and add 10 ml of extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic clove, fresh rosemary sprig, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Spread the potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer and roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and crispy, turning once halfway through cooking.
- While the potatoes roast, score the skin of the duck breast with a sharp knife in a crisscross pattern without cutting into the meat.
- Season both sides of the duck breast with salt and ground black pepper.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat until hot, then place the duck breast skin side down in the skillet.
- Cook the duck breast for about 6 to 8 minutes on the skin side until the skin is crisp and golden brown, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact.
- Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the meat side for medium rare, or longer to desired doneness.
- Remove the duck breast from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced duck breast alongside the crispy roasted potatoes.
Tips
- Score the duck skin carefully to avoid cutting into the meat for best crispiness.
- Let the duck rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
- Use medium sized potatoes for even roasting and crispiness.
