Parisienne potatoes are small, round potatoes that have been scooped into balls using a melon baller or parisienne scoop. The potatoes are then usually cooked in butter or oil until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are a classic French potato dish and are often served as a side dish or as part of a more elaborate potato dish. Parisienne potatoes can be seasoned with herbs, garlic, or other spices to add flavor, and they can be served with a variety of sauces or dips.

You can save a lot of time if you boil the potatoes so that they are cooked through but not mushy. I usually use cubed potato and that takes about 12 min of boiling before being drained and the spices added. Then you can roast them until you like the crispiness or crust.

What are the best potatoes to use
Anna, you can use any potatoes but white russets work well, what we do here at home is we cut the potatoes into small cubes (about an inch each), we don't always buy the small round potatoes because most super markets only have them canned and it can get expensive.
