Dumpling Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the russet potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.

  2. 2

    Make the Dumpling Dough

    Mash the potatoes and mix with flour, egg, and salt until a dough forms. Divide into small balls.

  3. 3

    Cook the Dumplings

    In a pot of boiling salted water, drop the dumplings and cook until they float, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

    Prepare the Duck

    Rub duck legs with salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme. Let marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

  2. 5

    Cook the Duck

    Submerge the duck legs in duck fat and cook at 225°F (107°C) for 2-3 hours until tender.

Cherry Sauce Directions

  1. 6

    Make the Cherry Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine cherries, red wine, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer until reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes.

Crackling Directions

    Prepare the Crackling

    Score the pork skin, rub with salt, and bake at 400°F (200°C) until crispy, about 30 minutes.
