Truffade
Also known as: Truffade auvergnate
Auvergnat potatoes with fresh Cantal tomme, garlic and goose fat.
About Truffade
Truffade is presented by the Sancy tourism office as an emblematic Auvergne mountain dish. This version combines potatoes and fresh Cantal tomme, using goose fat as the selected cooking fat.
Garlic, salt and pepper season the potatoes. Fresh cheese gives a mild dairy richness, while the goose fat supports the savoury flavour of the browned potato surfaces.
Tender potato slices sit together in melted cheese. The published recipe serves the truffade immediately with green salad and country ham; its separate suggestions for other cheeses are outside this selected version.
