Hi,
There was recipe in a food magazine, maybe a year ago, for these incredible fried puffs of potatoes, that were made with mashed potatoes, egg yolks and ..... It was either Gourmet or Bon Appetit. They were a lot of messy work, but by God, they were incredible. I will look for it and post again.
Found it. It was indeed in Gourmet - January 2006 - where they did a restrospective of recipes from the last 65 years. This recipe was from 1957, and they called them Pommes de Terre Lorette - they call them an impossibly light version of french fries.
They were delicious.

You're welcome! Did you find the recipe or should I post it?
Post a follow up here when you make them. Like I said, a lot of mess and work, but sooooooo worth it.

I'd like to see the recipe you have maison. I always have leftover mashed potatoes.

That's the link to the recipe from Gourmet 2006.
let me know if you make it and what you think of it.

That does look like a tricky recipe. I'm guessing, by reading the recipe, that I can't use leftover potatoes. But I still would like to try it. I have a Super Shooter with a star tip attachment. That would probably work, don't you think? Thanks for sharing that with me.

yeah, that would work great. It's not even that it's tricky - I mean chou pastry is sooo easy to make, as are mashed potatoes. It's just messy. But I will say this again, so so so so worth it.
