Straw potatoes
Straw potatoes or potato straw ( french fries pailles ) or matchstick potatoes ( fries allumettes ) are a supplement to the classic French cuisine of finely cut, the fried in deep fat potatoes .
For preparation, peeled potatoes are cut into very fine strips or matchstick-sized, deep-fried until golden and sprinkled with fine salt .
The German cookbook author Henriette Davidis described straw potatoes as follows in 1845:
" Baked straw potatoes To do this, you cut the raw, peeled potatoes like a match and otherwise prepare them like French fries."
