They must have tasted amazingly delicious, rich and moreish with salted duck yolks!
We love potatoes but we have never tried them with salted egg yolk. We have both in the house – maybe we can try out this recipe.
Well, I had no idea that you could buy salt duck eggs online! I suppose you can get almost anything online, right? This is a really umami-filled dish, isn’t it?
Not sure how I feel about salted egg yolks (Just never tried), but the dish looks delicious – really perfectly cooked potatoes!
