Serves 2
175g passed baked potato
20g ‘00’ pasta flour
1 egg yolk
20g chopped pistachio
1 bunch chopped chervil (French parsley)
Salt
Pepper
Mix the potato and egg, then slowly add flour and season well. Add the pistachio and herbs. Pipe the mixture into logs on parchment paper and cut into desired lengths, then set in the fridge to chill for an hour. Bring out and poach in boiling water for two and a half minutes, then plunge into ice water, drain and pat dry. Finish in a pan and fry in oil and butter until the edges are golden and crisp. Serve with your choice of garnish, such as mushrooms, beetroot, squash and parsley.
