Amy Amy, would you tell me more about this? I learned how to make these when I went to school in Provence...you tourne potatoes (think mini footballs) then blanch them to knife tender. Sauté them on fairly high heat to brown (I use both butter and oil), add pastis and flame, like so...  Finish with butter and whatever herbs you desire. I include saffron and sautéed fennel frequently. Amy Edited to add: Seriously good with any fish stew, and particularly good blanched in fish stock.

When I say mini footballs, I'm talking about the size of an unshelled peanut.

Actually, they're not that much bigger than what I do. They take some practice, and I have a Wusthof tourne knife which makes it easier, but they are dang fun to make.

While I prefer JB's answer, yes I do the mashed potato...

Thanks, Amy. I definitely have to try that.
