Noisette potato applications
While noisette potatoes are a prevalent side dish in France, they’re relatively unknown by Canadians. Shine a spotlight on them—noisette potatoes are perfect for children’s menus and side dishes for meat, poultry, or fish. You can also sauté them with seasonal vegetables for an easy pan-fried meal.
And the best part is that there’s no need to defrost these noisette potatoes beforehand. Simply bake or fry them until they’re golden brown.
What’s the difference between noisette potatoes and Dauphinoise potatoes?
Dauphinoise potatoes and noisette potatoes differ not only in size but also ingredients. Noisette potatoes are mashed potatoes shaped into small balls before being rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. The dish’s name refers to its small size (noisette means hazelnut in French). Somewhat larger, Dauphine potatoes consist of a choux pastry mixed with potatoes and shaped into balls before frying.
