Duck Confit Potato Frittata with Creamy Chasseur


This pre-cooked Duck Confit is so tasty.  It sits in it's own juice and marinates until ready to 
be eaten.  I picked the meat off the duck legs and incorporated it into this delicious potato frittata, packed with spices, herbs and cheese.  I reserved the flavorful juice to make this creamy mushroom chasseur sauce to top the frittata.  I added a little heat for a surprise kick.  You can prepare this sauce thick or more juicy, it is your preference.   The combination of flavors will be unitedly joined.  

Ingredients:
6 cups cubed potatoes, cooked
2 TBS duck fat
1 cup shallots, chopped
3 large cloves garlic, chopped

1/8 cup basil, chopped
