    Rub duck legs in salt mixture and let it marinate for 3-24 hours.

    At this point you will cook with the sous vide at 155.5 for 26 hours.

    Place quarted creamer potatoes and halved asparagus in a roasting dish. Pour reserved duck fat over your vegatables. Sprinkle with Himalayan salt and mix.

    Roast vegetables at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown and crisp. Stir occasionally.

    Turn the oven up to 425 and place the duck legs on a cooling rack in a baking sheet. Roast for 15-25 until the skin browns and crisp.
