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.

How to butter a dish or a mould easily
Often when making gratins, crumbles or other oven-cooked dishes, you will need to butter the dish or mould. To butter (or grease) means to rub inside the mould with a knob of butter to prevent the mixture sticking too much.
