Have you ever made pommes de terre soufflés?

AKA fried puffed potatoes? Made famous by Antoine's in NOLA. They are twice fried or basically triple fried if you do it the Jacque Pepin and Julia Child way. I want to try these with beef tartare. I think they would make a perfect accompaniment to it.

I saw a chef on Masterchef Professionals making them - apparently very tricky to get right. I really must try!

I've not. They're reputed to be a little tricky and you have to be prepared to have a third or more not come out right, even if you know what you're doing. My ego couldn't take that failure rate.

The fellow from Serious Eats (J. Alt-Kenji...Kenji Alt-J...?) tells an interesting story about Pepin stopping by where he was working and ending up in the kitchen showing him how to make them.
