This ambrosial dish takes its name from the sauce. Aurore is the French word for dawn, and here it refers to a béchamel sauce with the addition of just enough tomato to tint it pink. Aurore potatoes are best enjoyed with simple, delicately flavoured dishes such as poached fish or chicken, or lightly smoked fish.
