Croustipatates


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.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Once the potatoes are cooked, cut into medium-sized pieces, pour into a bowl, season generously with salt, and add 6 tablespoons oil.

Sprinkle the potatoes with a little flour, then breadcrumbs, and mix again.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Place a sheet of baking paper in a baking tray, and spread the potatoes over it in an even layer, with no pieces piled on top of each other.

Drizzle with the remaining oil.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 30 min.
Croustipatates : Stage 5
Bake in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, keeping a close eye on the coloring.

Serve as a side dish, or as here, with a little warm cancoillotte, a pure delight.
Remarks

Bouquet garni
Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
