Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the potatoes in foil packets until fully tender
  • Sifting the pulp to remove excess moisture
  • Balancing the flour/puree/egg yolk ratio to achieve a non‑sticky dough
  • Prevent the egg yolks from coagulating when making the sauce

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (190°C) with kitchen gloves.
  • Hot olive oil can splatter: keep your face away.
  • Raw egg yolks pose a salmonella risk; cook the sauce immediately after adding.
