Croustipatates
Croustipatates are potatoes that are melt-in-the-mouth on the inside and very crispy on the outside, thanks to a double cooking process, first in water, then in the oven.
They're a perfect accompaniment to a variety of meat and fish dishes, but also a dish in themselves, with a little hot cancoillotte poured over them just before serving, for example.

Clarified butter
This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline. June 21th 2017484 K4.2 2 hours 15 min.
