Dauphine potatoes
Dauphine potatoes combine mashed potato with choux pastry, shaped into balls and then deep-fried. The choux pastry explains most of their composition: this is not a simple potato.

Tips
15.7 g of fat: the fattiest of the prepared potatoes. Three times that of potato wedges. The choux pastry and the frying add up.
242 kcal per 100 g. A 150 g portion provides 363 kcal for a side dish, as much as a light main course. Treat them as an exceptional accompaniment.
1.15 g of salt: the highest in its category. A 150 g portion provides 1.7 g, a third of the daily guideline before the main dish.
Oven rather than deep fryer. They are already fried during manufacture: a second frying is pure waste. Twenty minutes at 200 °C is enough.
A homemade mash does better in every respect. It provides more potassium for a quarter of the fat. The dauphine is a pleasure of texture, not a nutritional choice.
