Duck in glaze with baked potatoes is a dish that combines tender meat and sweet citrus glaze. Traditionally in Russian cuisine, duck is roasted for special occasions, giving it a rich flavor with honey and orange. The glaze caramelizes the meat with a light fruity note, while the baked potatoes absorb the aroma of duck fat, becoming soft and rich. This dish is perfect for festive tables, delighting the eye with its golden crust and enticing appetite with its sweet-spicy aroma.
