BF 15 Potatoes Stuffed with Soft-Boiled Eggs, Fresh Herbs & Nutmeg

Ingredients for 6 servings
  • 6 large BF 15 potatoes
  • 20 cl thick cream
  • 1 bunch chopped chives
  • 2 sprigs chervil
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • Guérande flower of salt
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • Pepper
  • 6 eggs
Preparation time: 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 240°C (th. 8). Wash and dry the potatoes. Prick them several times with a fork, place in a baking dish, drizzle with oil, and roast for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

Ten minutes before the potatoes finish, soft-boil the eggs: immerse in boiling water for 6 minutes, then peel.

Cut off the tops and scoop out the flesh without piercing the skins. Mash the flesh with cream, chives, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Warm in a saucepan, stirring, then refill the potato shells.

Top each with a soft-boiled egg, garnish with chervil sprigs, replace the tops, and serve hot with a crisp, well-seasoned salad.

About the BF 15:

Available from July to March, this variety—a cross of Belle de Fontenay and Flava—offers firm, dark yellow flesh. Elongated with yellow skin, it excels in gratins, steaming, and roasting.
