It's made with a special knife often referred to as a birds beak or a tourneau knife. It's a classic test of a chef's knife skill and very difficult to replicate without a curved knife. The easiest way to do it is to square the potato, then mark an X on each end. With the curved knife, in a low arc shape, go from X to X, seven times, and you've got your tourneau'd potato. It often helps to have water to dip the knife in. Hope that helps!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392234714607563081noreply@blogger.com
