For DuckPat duck breast dry with a paper towel; then massage salt onto meat side. Score fat side with the tip of your knife to help fat render. Heat a cast-iron pan to high, add 1 tablespoon salt, place duck skin-side down, and lower heat to medium-low to slowly render the duck fat. When skin is golden brown, about 6 minutes, remove duck and wipe clean with a paper towel. Rub the piment d’Esplette on the flesh side of the duck and return to pan, skin-side up, for another 4 minutes or so to finish cooking. Cook for another 6 minutes on the flesh side. Remove duck from pan and set aside to rest. |

For FritesFill a heavy-bottomed 14-quart pot with oil and heat to 325°F. Blanch fries for 5 minutes; then remove yam frites from oil and drain on a paper towel–lined plate. Mix mustard and rice flour in a bowl and toss yam frites to coat. Raise oil temperature to 350–365°F. Fry yam frites again until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes max. Remove with a slotted spoon into a bowl with a paper towel. Toss with salt and pepper. |
