Truffade

Description

Truffade is a thick potato and cheese pancake, a specialty of the French Auvergne region. The cheeses used in the dish must always be mild, such as Gruyére , or Tomme fraîche de Cantal . Truffade is most commonly served as a side dish, as an accompaniment to steaks or other meat dishes. In the Dauphine region's version of the dish, tomatoes are typically used instead of cheese. This savory pancake is sometimes garnished with finely chopped parsley.
