Pommes dauphine typically accompany red meats or chicken.[3] Typically served in restaurants, they are often for sale at supermarkets in France.[citation needed]
Related potato preparations include pommes noisette, pommes duchesse, croquettes, and pommes soufflées. Pommes dauphines are unique, however, with the choux pastry yielding a less dense dish.[citation needed]
