Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake a duck in a sleeve stuffed with potatoes? Prepare the indicated products. It is better to take fresh duck, not previously frozen. You can use any spices you like. You can also prepare a marinade for duck, whichever you prefer. The heavier the duck, the more potatoes and cooking time will be required. Try to choose non-starchy varieties of potatoes. Prepare a deep dish, baking dish and sleeve.

Step 2

Step 2
To prepare a stuffed duck, you need to choose it correctly: its skin should be intact, light, and the meat should not be dark or bluish. If there are remnants of feathers, they should be removed. Trim off excess fat, sebaceous glands, excess skin. Rinse the bird well under running water and dry.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Mix chopped garlic, a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Rub the prepared mixture over the entire duck, thoroughly rubbing it into the skin of the bird.

Step 4

Step 4
Mix sour cream and mayonnaise and rub this mixture all over the duck. Place the duck in a deep bowl, cover and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours, if possible, for longer.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into large pieces. If the potatoes are small, then you don’t have to cut them. Mix chopped potatoes with salt and ground black pepper in a deep bowl. Turn on the oven to preheat at 180 degrees.

Step 6

Step 6
Fill the marinated duck with chopped potatoes. If the potatoes do not fit, then you can simply put them next to the duck.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the prepared duck with potatoes in a baking sleeve, tie it or close it with clips. Use a toothpick to make several punctures to allow steam to escape. Place the duck in a deep baking dish or baking tray in case any fat leaks out. Place the dish with the duck in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Time and temperature are approximate — use your equipment as a guide.

Step 8

Step 8
Leave the finished duck to rest for 20-30 minutes in the oven, then transfer it from the sleeve to a plate. Serve the duck hot or warm, cutting off portions and placing potatoes on each plate. Bon appetit!
