Step 1
Preparing roasted duck is fairly easy. I am glad to share my recipe for roasted duck with orange flavored potatoes and green beans with bacon. First you will need a medium size duck, which you can purchase in your local grocery store. In addition, you will need between 6-7 medium size red skin potatoes, fresh green beans and about half a pound of bacon, one jar of mandarin orange sauce and two oranges.

Step 2
First you need to prep your duck prior to baking. The secret is to get the outer part of the duck as crispy as possible. Pull backs the skin covering the duck and place about 4 tablespoons of butter, 1-tablespoon garlic powder, 1-teaspoon pepper, and 1-teaspoon sea salt. In addition, add some of the mandarin orange sauce and two orange wedges on top of duck before placing in a pre heated 400-degree oven. You will bake the duck for about an hour and a half. You need to keep checking the duck to see if you need to empty the basting pan, grease will accumulate quickly and must be removed. You can also continue to baste duck with the orange sauce.

Step 3
About 20 minutes before removing finished duck; turn the oven up to either 500 degrees or broil. The idea is to make the outer skin of the duck crispy. Don’t leave in oven at 500 degrees for more than 20 minutes or it may burn.

Step 4
Finally, you want to slice the red skin potatoes in half and boil for about 15 minutes. Remove potatoes and brush with butter and mandarin orange sauce. For some extra taste you can add ¼ cup of brandy to your orange mandarin sauce. Steam green beans on stove for about 10 minutes, remove from stove sprinkle with some butter and bacon bits. Enjoy!
