Roast Duck Legs and Potatoes

One of those super easy leave 'em and love 'em meals.

Measurement Conversion Calculator

Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. On the hob, heat a small roasting tin (I use one like a slightly oversized tarte tatin dish) and sear the duck legs, skin side down over medium heat until the skin turns golden and gives out some oil.
Turn the legs over, and take the tin off the heat while you cut the potatoes into 2cm slices across, then cut each slice into 4. Arrange these potato pieces around the duck legs, then let a few sprigs of thyme fall over the duck and potatoes, and season with salt and pepper, before putting into the preheated oven.
Cook for 2 hours, occasionally turning the potatoes, for optimal outcome, which is tender duck legs and crispy potatoes, though both will be ready to eat after 1 ½ hours.

How quick and easy this recipe is, cooked it and loved it. The green salad was refreshing, without all that oil!! I also made a mango salsa, always nice with duck. Nigella also did a 'same style meal' with chicken marylandsor was it drumsticks, and a variety of veg around the pan, also quick and easy.
