Directions
-
Peel and quarter the russet potatoes, then place them in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches.
-
Simmer the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender, then drain well in a colander.
-
Return the hot potatoes to the pan and steam over moderate heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds to evaporate excess moisture.
-
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.
-
Remove the skin from the duck legs and cut it into 1/4-inch strips.
-
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.
-
Remove the meat from the duck legs and chop it finely.
-
Add the minced garlic to the remaining fat in the skillet and cook over low heat until softened.
-
Add the chopped duck meat to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
-
Season the duck mixture with salt and pepper, then stir it into the mashed potato mixture and let it cool.
-
Place a wonton wrapper on a lightly floured surface and mound 1 tablespoon of the duck-potato filling in the center.
-
Top the filling with one flat-leaf parsley leaf.
-
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.
-
Trim excess dough with a round cutter or sharp knife, then transfer the ravioli to a dry kitchen towel to dry slightly.
-
Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and parsley to make all the ravioli.
-
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.
-
Do not let the water boil vigorously once the ravioli are added; transfer cooked ravioli to a dry towel to drain and keep warm.
-
While the ravioli cook, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over moderate heat, swirling until nut-brown.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the white truffle oil and truffle paste.
-
Arrange 4 or 5 ravioli on each of 6 heated plates and spoon the truffle sauce over the top.
-
Garnish each serving with the crispy duck cracklings and additional parsley leaves.
