Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and quarter the russet potatoes, then place them in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches.
  2. Simmer the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender, then drain well in a colander.
  3. Return the hot potatoes to the pan and steam over moderate heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds to evaporate excess moisture.
  4. Force the hot potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a bowl, then beat in sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Remove the skin from the duck legs and cut it into 1/4-inch strips.
  6. In a small heavy skillet, cook the duck skin in 1 tablespoon of butter over moderately low heat until crisp, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
  7. Remove the meat from the duck legs and chop it finely.
  8. Add the minced garlic to the remaining fat in the skillet and cook over low heat until softened.
  9. Add the chopped duck meat to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  10. Season the duck mixture with salt and pepper, then stir it into the mashed potato mixture and let it cool.
  11. Place a wonton wrapper on a lightly floured surface and mound 1 tablespoon of the duck-potato filling in the center.
  12. Top the filling with one flat-leaf parsley leaf.
  13. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water, then place a second wrapper on top, pressing down firmly to seal and remove air pockets.
  14. Trim excess dough with a round cutter or sharp knife, then transfer the ravioli to a dry kitchen towel to dry slightly.
  15. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and parsley to make all the ravioli.
  16. In a kettle of gently boiling salted water, cook the ravioli in two batches for about 2 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are tender.
  17. Do not let the water boil vigorously once the ravioli are added; transfer cooked ravioli to a dry towel to drain and keep warm.
  18. While the ravioli cook, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over moderate heat, swirling until nut-brown.
  19. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the white truffle oil and truffle paste.
  20. Arrange 4 or 5 ravioli on each of 6 heated plates and spoon the truffle sauce over the top.
  21. Garnish each serving with the crispy duck cracklings and additional parsley leaves.
