Famous Recipes - Dauphine Potatoes

Dauphine Potatoes

2 cups (500 ml) mashed potatoes
1 cup (250 ml) pate a choux (see below)
A grating of fresh nutmeg
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Salt to taste

Combine the mashed potatoes, pate a choux, and nutmeg and stir to combine. Form into small balls 1 to 1 1/2
inches (2.5-4 cm) in diameter. Fry in vegetable oil that has been heated to 365F (185C) until crisp and
golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt while still hot. Serves 4 to 6.

Pate a Choux

1 cup (250 ml) milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) butter
1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
A pinch of salt
4 eggs at room temperature

Combine the milk and butter in a pan and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Add the flour all at once and stir
vigorously with a wooden spoon until it is smooth and no longer sticks to the sides of the pan. Remove from
the heat and transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer or food processor. Add the eggs one at a time and
process until completely incorporated before adding the next egg. To make cream puff shells, spoon or
pipe the batter onto a greased baking sheet, making mounds 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) inches in diameter. Bake
in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350F (180C) and bake until puffed up and
golden brown, about 25 minutes.
