    Wash goose legs, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Put goose legs on the fat pan of the oven, pour on 1/2 litre of water and roast in the preheated oven (electric stove: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 2 hours. From time to time, pour the frying fat over the goose legs. In the meantime, peel, wash and halve the potatoes and cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile peel 1 onion, cut into quarters and add to the goose legs. Remove the outer yellow leaves from the Brussels sprouts and carve the stalk crosswise.

    Cook the sprouts in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes. Remove, rinse in cold salted water and drain. Drain the potatoes and let them evaporate. Weigh 500 g potatoes, mash them slightly, mix with egg yolk and press through the potato ricer. Season with salt and nutmeg. Keep goose legs warm and drain the fat from the roast. Dissolve the roast fat with stock, put it in a pot with the onion, add marjoram and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Put the potato mixture into a piping bag and spray approx. 16 medium-sized tuffs onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 15 minutes until golden. In the meantime, peel and finely dice the remaining onion. Finely dice the bacon.
