- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into equal-size chunks

- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Heat some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the flour to a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the sliced shallots in the seasoned flour. Drop the shallots in the hot oil ,a few at a time to avoid clumps, and fry until dark golden in color. Transfer the shallots to a paper towel lined dish and sprinkle with salt, to taste.
