How to Make Chef John’s Baked Potato Puffs
they said there was no way to do a big version of these famous french fried potato Puffs which go by the name pom doofen but you know what I think we did and for the record I’m just assuming that’s what they said I mean no one’s ever reached out to me directly but I’m pretty sure someone said you can’t do these in the oven and you know what if those people do exist they were just proven wrong and in the spirit of full disclosure I fully admit I’m a mashed potato fanatic and love any and all kinds so I knew I was going to love these I just didn’t realize how much so these really did work well with the eggs and the dip but these were also make for a great side dish for something like a steak which is basically what the original fried recipes used for

Imagine telling Chef John he can't….
This looks absolutely wonderful!
Cannot wait to try these!
Well, I have a new side dish for dinner tonight! Sounds great.
I recognize that voice. ❤❤
So it's like a pate a choux, but with potato… I've never seen this before. Awesome!
Can’t wait for the recipe. ❤❤❤
Add cheese in the middle yummm 😋
That would go incredibly with country fried chicken and gravy
DROOOL ..DROOOLLLL
As a Puertorrican, I love bolas de papa (stuffed potato balls). This receipt reminds me of that. I’m going to try making these.
My family pan fries them and serve them with sour cream
I’m getting tired of They talking all that smack.
Where is the recipe. I have extra potatoes and an appetite.
They talk a lot of game, for someone that has no name
amazing John
The egg dunk❤🌟🌻😋
Delicious!!!😋
I'm french and Pommes Dauphines and Pommes Noisettes are my favorite and safest food ever. Pomme Dauphines is a choux paste in which you had mashed potato. Pomme Noisette is more like baked mashed potato, less doughy. Noisette are also smaller than Dauphines. Now you know.
The title of these feels off
Idk if you should use the 'How to make' part?
Kinda feels like your not the OG
I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I actually drooled! 😊
Looks so delicious
I didn't know this was the reason I bought two bags of potatoes! 😆
Baked gnocchi?
