Once upon a time there was a duck and it ended up on the holiday table. The legs were made into confit, the breast into a salad, and maybe the whole bird was perfectly browned in the oven. Whatever the bird's fate, something of it was definitely left over - an arkas with the remains of the meat. And here's a way to use it wisely. Parmentier was invented by the French, who, as we know, won't let even a crumb go to waste at the table. To extract all the best from the bird's meat and bones, sweet and sour apples, vegetables and red wine are added to it during stewing . And the duck filling is packed in a coat of mashed potatoes. But if you have baked or boiled potatoes left over from the night, they will also work for parmentier.
