8.      Fondant Potato

Fondant potato is round potato like can that we cook in half water and half butter, rosemary and garlic. And we finishised in the oven until cook. Fondant potato we use it as a garnish for poultry, but sometimes also for beef and lamb but normally only for poultry like chicken, game, quail, etc. This is how to make: cut potato like a can and cut it around the top of both side, the size maybe, 3cm X d2. Put the potato in the frying pan and add water a half pan and a glove butter, put rosemary and garlic inside and than cook it until the water reduced down. After that put in the oven until soft and cook.

9.      Pommes cocotte

Pommes cocotte also we call turn potato, because we pill it with the same size all side, so we have to turn the skin with curving knife. Pommes cocotte is look like diamond but oval with long about 4 cm, small on the top and big in the middle. We use pommes cocotte for beef only, but for X-mas party we use it for Turkey. Pommes cocotte with serve by fry it until golden brown and crispy, we serve 4/ portion. The best potato for pommes cocotte is a small potato, maybe about 5 ons, we use pommes cocotte also we used for fish (garnish), but we cook the cocotte in the hot water, we called pommes novelle or new potato if we use it for fish. Both is look the same only the size is different, for beef bigger than for the fish.

10.      Pommes Croquettes

Pommes crocket is almost same with pommes William, I mean the main ingredients. Pommes crocket made by mash potato but the different with pommes William is  we put in flower and than egg and than bread crumb, and than we fried until golden brown. Pommes crocket is look like pommes pont neuf. We use pommes crocket if the guest want it, so its not a garnish for any main course.

11.      Pommes  en Papillotes or Bake potato

Bake potato or jacket potato is a big potato with some topping inside, follow the order. How to make: wash some large potato, wrap each potato in a piece of aluminum foil and cook for 40 – 50 minute until cook, either in a very hot oven or ashes of a fire.

12.      Pommes Sautee

This is the easier potato to make, we just cut in half  a small cook potato with the skin and than fried them up in hot oil or butter until crispy and golden brown. We use pommes sauté for beef garnish, but only for the floor service, not in restaurant.

13.      Potato galette or Pommes savoir.

Potato galette is quite difficult to make it, we use potato galette for fillet of beef only same with pommes roesti but for V.I.P only or special guest. How to make: pill big potato and than take a small pipe to get the same size, push the potato in pipe and than take it out the potato from the pipe. Then slice the potato, not very thin same with pommes soufflé, after that blanc the potato in hot oil without coloring, half cook only, after that cold it down and than arrange it surround a small cup, until 2 layer, after that add some butter or olive oil and than put on fire until crispy and golden brown, after that turn it over to get color the other side. Potato galette mush be stick together when we serve it, so that why we have to blanc it in hot oil for a half cook only.
