Baked duck with potatoes

Baked duck with potatoes is a tasty and nutritious dish that will decorate any table. There are many options for cooking poultry: the duck can be baked in foil or in a sleeve, stewed or fried in a frying pan. One of the simplest recipes is duck in its own juice, baked in the oven with potatoes. Potatoes here act as a side dish and, among other things, complement the dish with a pleasant taste and aroma. It is better to choose a young bird - with thin golden skin and light plumage.
