Preheat oven to 350° F.

While duck is finishing in oven, cook potatoes in salted boiling water until fully cooked.

Remove, strain potatoes, and run cold water over them to stop the cooking.

After duck has cooked and cooled, remove duck meat and discard skin and bones.

Sauté onions in 1/8 cup oil of grape seed oil until fully cooked.

In a mixing bowl place cooked duck, cooked potatoes and sautéed onions, mix in parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, and ginger. Mix all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Separate duck hash mixture into 8 patties and brown them to order, garnish hash with the quail eggs cooked sunny side up and serve with some local organic greens.
