Perfectly Puffed Pommes Souffles Recipe

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil adds flavor while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

Slice the potato with a mandolin as thin as possible.

Lay the slices on a paper towel and tap them dry.

Separate the egg and only use the egg white.

Arrange matching slices and flip the second slice to match later.

Dust half of the slices with potato starch or corn starch and brush off any excess.

Brush the second half of the slices with the egg white, ensuring the whole surface is coated.

Combine the slices and press them down lightly.

Cut out circles using a round cutter, or cut squares or different shapes with a knife if desired.

Heat the oil to 300°F (150°C).

Add a potato circle to the oil and start basting it; it should puff up right away.

Keep basting and flip it until golden brown.
