We start by peeling the potatoes, then using a cookie cutter we detail it to make pretty regular discs.

When the potatoes begin to be golden brown, place them on the puff pastry without forgetting the slices of dried breast fillet. Then, put in the oven for ten minutes at 180° degrees.

It’s time to start cooking the duck breast. The chef removes the nerve and the fat that protrudes from the meat. Then, Thierry marks the meat on the skin side for more tenderness and crispness. Sear for two to three minutes in the pan and finish cooking in the oven for five minutes.

When the duck breast is nicely pink, you cut out pretty slices that you serve with the potato tatin accompanied by a green salad. At table !!!
