Pommes dauphine, sometimes called dauphine potatoes,[1] are crisp potato puffs made by mixing mashed potatoes with savoury choux pastry, forming the mixture into quenelle shapes or rounds that are deep-fried at 170 to 180 °C (338 to 356 °F).

[1][2] The dish is named for the Dauphine of France, wife of the heir apparent to the French throne.

Pommes dauphine typically accompany red meats or chicken.

[3] Typically served in restaurants, they are often for sale at supermarkets in France.

Pommes dauphines are unique, however, with the choux pastry yielding a less dense dish.
