Potatoes à la Diétrich
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- large Holland potatoes
- gnocchi (small)
- béchamel sauce
- Piedmont truffles
Instructions
- Bake large Holland potatoes in the oven until tender. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully hollow out the interior, leaving a thin shell. Reserve the scooped-out potato flesh.
- Prepare small gnocchi bound together with a creamy béchamel sauce enriched with diced Piedmont truffle. Fill the hollowed potato shells with this gnocchi mixture.
- Replace the reserved potato flesh on top to restore each potato to its original form. Arrange the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet with the sealed side facing down. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Dress on a folded napkin for service.
