Julia Child's Bouchees Parmentier Au Fromage aka Potato Cheese Sticks
Updated: Aug 25, 2020
So let me start by saying that these things are STUPID GOOD and addictive. They are tender, slightly crispy on the outside, buttery and delicately cheesy. SO GOOD!!!! They are delicious appetizers but I have also served them as a side dish.
I love to make these for my family and watch them literally fly off the plate while they exclaim how wonderfully addictive they are.
If you don't have a potato ricer here is a link for substitution tools to get your potatoes the perfect consistency for this dish.
I loaded a short video on this post! My first attempt and I'm still learning so go easy on me!!!! And enjoy!
Happy Cooking!
Ingredients:
2 Medium baking potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
⅔ cup flour
4 ounces (1 stick) of butter
1 egg
1 cup grated swiss cheese
¼ tsp white pepper
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
⅛ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Boil peeled and cut potatoes until tender.
Drain and put cooked potatoes through a ricer (if you don’t have a ricer, you can use a food mill or a cheese grater, the idea is to get the potatoes finely fluffy in texture)
Stir the potatoes over moderate heat in a heavy-bottomed pot for 2 minutes until they form a light film on the bottom of the pot, indicating most of their moisture has evaporated.
Beat the flour into the potatoes, then the butter a couple of tablespoons at a time, then the egg, cheese, and seasonings.
Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Scoop the potato filling into a plastic pastry bag with a pastry tube ½ inch in diameter.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and squeeze the mixture into 2 ½ inch lengths spaced ½ inch apart.
Bake 12-15 minutes until the sticks are lightly browned.
Serve warm (although I eat them cold out of the fridge the next day too).
The subject of connecting historical names with local education feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. A school's name can provide a route into discussing a wider historical period. Seen this way, Jagiellonian history education becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. How can students explore a historical figure without reducing the lesson to a list of dates?
Thinking about making health information easier to understand, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. Plain language can help readers recognise what a health explanation does and does not establish. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about health information literacy. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. What makes a health information page understandable to someone without specialist knowledge?
https://soicaulodechuan.net/ mình mới ghé thử vài phút cho biết thôi, kiểu mở lên lướt nhanh xem họ làm giao diện ra sao. Ấn tượng đầu là trang chia khu vực khá rành mạch nên mắt mình bắt nhịp nhanh, không bị cảm giác “một mớ” khi kéo xuống. Mình cũng để ý phần điều hướng đặt ngay chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển qua lại không phải tìm lâu, bấm cái là qua mục khác liền. Mà tông màu nhìn khá nhẹ, ngồi nhìn một lúc cũng không bị chói hay mỏi mắt. Nói chung không cần đọc kỹ vẫn hiểu mình đang ở phần nào nhờ cách họ chia khối nội dung và để menu ở ngay trên đầu trang.
What draws my attention to building connections through Grabow community projects is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. A shared project can bring together people who know different parts of a town's story. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about Grabow community learning. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can students make a community project useful beyond the classroom?
I find introducing young readers to Baczynski's poetry easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A single image in a poem can open a discussion about memory and personal experience. I would use that point as a starting question when considering Baczynski poetry education. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. Which classroom activities help students respond to poetry in their own words?
