Step 1
1. First, place the freshly thawed goose into boiling water and simmer for about 10–15 minutes. Then remove any remaining feathers and other unwanted parts, both inside and outside. Pat dry and cool.

2. Now fill the inside of the goose with pieces of apples and potatoes. Cut the potatoes smaller—they take longer to cook than apples, so this way their cooking times will be even. Rub the goose with salt and spices both inside and out. Sew up the belly.

3. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Wrap the bird in foil and place it on a baking tray, breast side down. Pour water into the tray to a depth of about two fingers to prevent the fat from burning. After 20 minutes, turn the bird over in the oven and reduce the temperature to 170 degrees. Cook for approximately 2 hours, but it's best to check for doneness with a toothpick—depending on the size of the goose and the oven's performance, it may take more or less time.
