Stuck at home I decided to make one of my gran's favourites: Pommes dauphine! I don't have access to a bunch of cool stuff at my nearest store, so I thought I'd make these tasty little things that only need potatoes, cream, corn starch and garlic. This is one of my favourite side dishes, but I'd like to learn more. If you have any good potato recipes I'd appreciate it very much if you shared it! I can't wait to try them out :)
Pommes dauphine:
750 g potatoes
2 tbsp corn starch
4 tbsp cream
2 cloves garlic
Salt
Pepper
Oil for frying
Breadcrumbs to coat them before frying (optional)
You just peel and boil the potatoes and mash them with the rest (make sure not to use a blender, then they'll be so soft they disintegrate during the frying). Cool the mash down to make them easier to work with, and fry them. You'll probably have some disintegrate before you get the hang of how long they should stay there. The oil should not be too hot: when you do the test where you dip a wooden utensil in it, the bubbling should be obviously present, but if it's very vigorous you are in the danger zone. If the oil itself is boiling it's definitely too hot, and if the balls are not bubbling after a minute of cooking it's too cold. I'd say the recipe makes two portions, but could be up to four as well depending on your portion sizes. Hope you like it!
I have a fryer but it’s such a pain to bring out and it wastes a lot of oil. I could pan fry but have a toddler and don’t want him to get hot oil on him. The way I figure it’s a potato in a choux pastry. I’ve baked things with choux pastry. Why not right? I figure it’d be “healthier” and less wasteful and probably safer than oil cooking - not sure on the taste though...
TLDR: If I baked the pommes dauphin will it be horrible? Also what time / temp should I use if baking?
C'est bientôt Noël, les repas de famille approchent, et comme chaque année, il faut anticiper tout ça pour pas se retrouver à bouffer du pain et des pommes dauphines toutes seules.
Comme ça se passe chez vous ? Est-ce que vous avez des techniques, des conseils, des recettes spéciales Noël pour passer des bons réveillons avec vos familles ?
Nous, ça va être notre troisième Noël végé avec ma partenaire, on commence à avoir nos habitudes :
-
On cuisine cette recette de faux-gras : j'adore (en tant que personne qui n'a jamais vraiment aimé le vrai foie-gras), on retrouve le visuel et la texture, et un léger goût de foie-gras.
-
On prépare du faux-mon (section "Saumon fumé végétal à base de carotte"): c'est plutôt simple, et ça se grignote bien sur des tranches de pain beurrés ou avec une mayo (ou faux beurre et mayo vegan)
-
Pour le plat principal, on fait un gros seitan roti fourré au champignon, cuit au four avec des pommes de terre. Incroyable recette, vraiment super bon, et le plat nous tient plusieurs repas : pratique quand on a 5 repas de famille (hors période covid) en quelques jours !
On fait aussi parfois des choses à tartiner pour l'apéro (houmous, sauce tzatziki, tartinade aux marrons). Le truc c'est de prévoir un peu plus pour chaque recette, parce que systématiquement les gens demandent à goûter un peu de tout ! Et l'idée, c'est d'avoir en gros quelque chose à manger à chaque étape de ces longs repas en même temps que les autres, sinon c'est jamais agréable d'attendre la suite l'assiette vide.
Si vous avez quelques recettes festives préférées vous aussi, hésitez pas !
Chez l'une, c'était poulet rôti, salade, pomme dauphine maison (qui tuaient leur race), tarte aux pommes (façon chausson, avec les petites boules dessus) . 😋 Chez l'autre : salade de tomate, soupe (grasse et délicieuse), pâté, viandes grillées à la gazinière à l'arrière de la maison, coquillettes. 😋
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
You take away their little brooms
