Baked potatoes with a delicate filling The most expensive potato in the world is "La Bonnotte" and will cost exquisite gourmets about 500 euros per kilogram. Enterprising peasants who live on the island of Noirmoutier, collect no more than 100 tons of this variety per year. Since the divine tuber (and according to legend, it was this sort that the Supreme God of the Incas brought up) is exceptionally gentle, it can only be collected manually. It is for tenderness that the "La Bonnotte" potatoes are so valuable. But if you are not ready to pay this amount for a kilo of potatoes, then we propose to cook at least an easy potato souffle, but from more accessible ingredients. This dish is essentially a potato puree, baked in the oven. The soufflé contains at least two components: a flavored mixture of sour cream consistency and whipped white egg whites. The first gives a taste, and whipped proteins - the airiness of the product.
