Recipe for Dauphine Potatoes

Serves  6

                                    3 each medium sized potatoes peeled , cut in large pieces

                                     boil in water with little bit of salt until soft 

                                     strain and let the steam dry the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes

                                     then ad the potatoes to the Pate a choux and mix

                                     season with salt, pepper and seasoning powder like Aromat

                                      

                                

                    Tip:

                           It is important that you mix potatoes and Pate a choux when they're both hot, and  

                            it is best to start the Pate a choux when the potatoes are boiling

                                     2 dl Water

                                     90 gr butter

                                     1 teasp. salt       

                                      bring to a boil in saucepan and add

                                      

                                      150 gr flour

                                       steady stirring let cook for 1 minute 

                                       move  to mixing bowl and ad

                                       4 to 5 Eggs, one at the time. 

                     To check: 

                                 split dough with a spatula and if the dough merge together very slowly 

                                 it will be ready . check after you added 4 eggs to see if you need one more                                   

                                 When ready, fill dough in pastry bag with star tip, dress on your

                                 finger tips and let trop in 350* frying oil. Cook until golden brown.
