Potatoes Sarladais-Style / Perigueux version with wine and truffles Recipe
Chef's Note
A classic that makes a perfect side to red meat.
The potatoes will be even softer if, at the end of the cooking time, you turn off the heat and leave them covered for a quarter hour before serving.
It wouldn't be a recipe from Perigord without some nice truffle shavings, although in season a fricassee of ceps is also welcome. For the perfect flavor and aroma, they're seasoned with chopped garlic and parsley during the resting time.
