    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and pat the duck legs dry. Rub them with salt, pepper, and marjoram. Let them sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

    2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the duck legs in a roasting pan, skin-side up, and add a little water to the bottom to prevent them from drying out. Roast for 90 minutes, basting occasionally with their own fat.

    3

    While the duck is roasting, peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. Slice the onions as well.

    4

    In a skillet, melt the duck fat and sauté the onions until softened. Add the potatoes, season with salt, and fry until golden brown over medium heat.

    5

    When the duck legs are cooked through, increase the oven temperature to 390°F (200°C) and roast them for another 10-15 minutes to crisp up the skin.

    6

    Serve the crispy roasted duck legs with the onion potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or marjoram leaves.
