BAKED POTATO PUFFS



Baked Potato Puffs image

The hardest line cook job I ever had was at the Carnelian Room, where on a busy night I'd prepare over 250 steaks and chops. The biggest challenge was frying French potato puffs to order. Called pommes dauphine, it's one of the finest foods ever invented. To save your kitchen from that deep fryer smell, I wanted to try a baked version. I was very happy with the results. Even though they weren't as dark and crispy as the fried version, the inside was virtually identical. Enjoy these as a warm snack with a dip, or to go alongside some eggs or grilled steak.

POTATO PUFF CASSEROLE



Potato Puff Casserole image

This is an extremely simple recipe and only has 5 ingredients!!!! It makes a great side item for any main dish...pork, chicken or beef. ENJOY!!!

Provided by Rachel Hubbard

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

32 oz pkg frozen potato puffs
2 10oz can(s) cream of chicken soup
1/2 c butter
1 c sour cream
1/4 c onion

Steps:

  • 1. Gently combine ingredients. I put them in a large pot over low heat to melt the butter and completely coat the potato puffs.
  • 2. Spread into 3 quart casserole dish.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy crust, use a large skillet or griddle and cook the potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will result in steamed potatoes rather than crispy ones.
  • Be patient when cooking the potatoes. It takes time to get them nice and crispy. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with undercooked potatoes.
  • If you're using a non-stick skillet, you may not need to add any oil or butter. However, if you're using a regular skillet, you'll need to add a little bit of oil or butter to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the crispy potatoes immediately, while they're still hot and crispy. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Crispy potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crispy potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
