Ingredients

Scale
  • Potatoes: 1 box Albert Bartlett Parmentier Potatoes (about 400g)
  • Camembert: Half a Camembert wheel (approximately 125g)

  • Cook potatoes: Place the Parmentier Potatoes on a baking tray and cook for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Prepare puff pastry: Slice the puff pastry into 12 even squares. Cut a 1cm border around each square, leaving the corners attached.
  • Egg wash: Lightly coat each pastry square with the egg wash.
