Pommes de Terre Savoyarde

Potatoes, because they’re found in just about every country, can cross frontiers recipe-wise. Take the vichyssoise, or chilled potato soup. I suppose it is French in origin because of the name, but, of course, it is found all over Europe.

In New York, they have a variation of this recipe which they call Manhattan Vichyssoise, the trick here is the addition of carrots. This gives the basic soup a delicious originality.
