Welcome and welcome to a new chapter of Paulina Kitchen! This afternoon we will make a special edition to learn a recipe highly anticipated by all: Noisette Popes. What pleasure to cook them and delight to eat them all at 5 minutes. We love them and today we will learn together how to make Noisette potatoes in a very simple way that we will never forget again.
And take note here, because today we are going to learn the recipe originates from Pope Noisette, how to combine them? How to do them to the cream?, And how many we calculate per person? (If this can be, before devouring them without thinking).
About Noisette Popes
Well, let's start by name, and that is that the term Noisette , to refer to the foods that are prepared in the form of balls , with the help of a spoon or some special utensil.
? Did they know this? The word noisette means hazelnut in French . Much of its meaning comes from here and its rounded form.
One more fact: this term also applies to a French specialty made of butter: the "Beurre Noisette".
Returning to the theme that summons us, these papitas are of French origin and have been popularized throughout the West. They can be used as a garnish of meats and fish, fried or baked . They are adaptable and very rich.
How to calculate the amount of potatoes I need per person
A very common question that we ask ourselves when we are about to cook for several people, and here I will leave you the key:
It is that in general, of whatever, per person (in total) are calculated Of course, depending on whether it is lunch (something else) or dinner (something less) and if they are young (something else) or older adults (somewhat less).
Then, in the case of Noisette Popes, which are used simply as garrison, if we calculate 200 gr. per person we would be fine.
Noisette potatoes an interesting option
If the papitas bore them, they are alone and they are looking for something else. Try to add a cream and the result changes. I am going to teach you to make a super easy onion cream so that they are encouraged to try this delight.
Popes already have to be cooked.
- In a pan with a little oil at the base, cook an onion cut into small cubes, add the Noisette (already cooked) and 2 tiles. of flour dissolved in half a cup of water, a broth and a little salt. Mix very well and cook for 10 min.
Finally, add 150 gr. of milk cream, 3 tbsp. From chopped green onion, pepper to taste, mix well and cook 2 min. further. Ready.
Before preparing this Noisette Pope Recipe
We have to keep in mind that there are two ways to do them , one with a special utensil with the round shape we need and that saves us a few steps.
Now, if we don't have this, we will opt for a different preparation, pureeing first and then giving it the form. Well I show you how to do this second option without the special spoon , but they have the original recipe below. How to make Noisette Popes without special utensils:
- Peel, wash and boil the potatoes until they completely cook. Then remove them from the water and step on them to form a puree, let cool.
- Add pepper, an egg yolk and mix well until a homogeneous paste is left and with the help of a spoon, grabbing small portions of puree and forming balls.
- Pass them through flour giving it rounded shape, then batter in egg and finally in breadcrumbs.
- Fry the ball in abundant hot oil, until golden brown, remove and drain. Salat and serve hot.
This is a good option not to abandon those who do not have the magical spoon of Noisette Popes . Anyway, is it a very easy tool to get in any bazaar? Another option that also works is to cut the potato in small squares and the result is something very similar. There is no excuse here, we do it anyway.
Then the original recipe. Enjoy it!
