- Transfer duck to cutting board and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
FOR THE MARQUISE POTATOES (POTATO CAKES)

- Sauté bacon until crisp in a medium skillet. Add onions and cook until translucent.
- Add bacon and onions to the shredded potatoes. Mix in parsley, egg, and 1 tablespoon flour. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
