Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole goose (10–12 lbs)
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and cubed
- 2 large sweet onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Rinse the goose under cold water and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper inside and out.
- Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, then drain. Return to low heat to evaporate excess moisture. Mash with onions, herbs, garlic, butter, lemon zest, and vinegar until creamy.
- Stuff the cavity of the goose with the potato filling and secure openings.
- Place the goose on a roasting rack in a deep pan. Roast uncovered for about 2.5 hours or until skin is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste occasionally with pan juices.
- Let rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
