Ingredients

For 4

100g shredded confit duck
250g buttered crushed potatoes
1 onion
80g grated or diced Emmental cheese
100g plain breadcrumbs
2 eggs Smoked paprika or barbecue spices
Salt/pepper
Vegetable oil (sunflower or rapeseed)
50g butter

Recipe

In a bowl, mix the crushed potatoes, shredded duck, cheese, finely diced onion, half the breadcrumbs, 1 egg, paprika, salt and pepper.
Shape the mixture into 4 patties 2 cm thick with a diameter of 8 cm.
Place the rest of the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
Break 1 egg into the shallow dish, add a pinch of salt and pepper and beat.
Dip each patty into the egg and breadcrumbs in turn. Set aside.
In a non-stick pan, heat the oil and butter on a medium heat and fry the patties on each side, flattening them if necessary with a spatula, for around 6 minutes or until golden and heated right through. Serve with a green salad.

It requires a little bit of preparation but this recipe will please both kids and adults as you eat as a family. Enjoy the softness and crunch all in one. Serve with a crisp salad like Iceberg or Little Gem.
