Pommes de terre soufflées

Soufflé potatoes

Pommes de terre soufflées are made by first parboiling sliced potatoes and then frying them twice. The first fry is done at a lower temperature to cook the potatoes through, and the second fry is done at a higher temperature to puff up the potatoes. The result is a dish that is crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside.
