// Pommes châtouillard

1/ Peel old potatoes chosen amoung the bigest ones. Wash.

2/ Detail the potages in cylinders with the desired diameter (40 mm). Pierce a hole in each cylinder, in the middle and in the lenght, with the help of the sharpened pipe. Sting a cylinder on the point of the stem, center it in the hole perfectly, and bring up the carrriage stinging the adusted potatoe on the nails. Then gently push the carriage and turn slowly. The "pomme chatouillard" measure 3 mm depht (1/8 ») and the cutted potatoe is wound round the stem. If necessary, help the rolling up at the beginning of the cut. Wash the casket from time to get rid of wastes.

3/ Thread spirals on wooden skewers and dry with a hair-dryer.

4/ The "Pommes chatouillard" being cut like above, pluge them in a first frying bath at 120°-130°C without washing them, during a few minutes.
Drain them, then pluge them again in a 180°C frying bath until they blew up.

5/ Beef’fat gives good results.

6/ Get spirals out of the deep fat once they are "soufflé", that is to say swelled up and lay them in bloud & crisp garlands on kitchen paper to drain them.


Add salt . Garnish dishes or plates.
For the 1st time do not give up when the result is not perfect !
Apples that aren’t "soufflés" will delight your friends that will come for drinks !
