Hello Uncle Phaedrus,
Can you find Longchamp's Delmonico Potatoes, it was featured in their
cookbook complete with cream, pimentoes, parmesan cheese. There are
other recipes with cheddar, rice, no pimentos but Longchamps is the best.
I am helping compile a recipe book for my nephews wedding and this will
be the best.
Thank you!
Dorothy
Hello Dorothy,
I exhausted my resources today without any success finding a recipe for Longchamp's Delmonico Potatoes. I know of no way for you to get it except for getting your hands on a copy of one of the two cookbooks of Longchamp's recipes. You can purchase used copies online. Amazon and E-Bay and other used booksellers have them:
"The Longchamps cookbook" by Robert J. [illus.] Winkler, Max; Myers | Jan 1, 1954
"The Longchamp's Cookbook" at Amazon
"Cooking a la Longchamps: Good Food,No Nonsense" by Jan Mitchell, January 1, 1964
"Cooking a la Longchamps: Good Food,No Nonsense" at Amazon
You might also check with your local library. They might have the books or they might be able to obtain them for you via the library network.
I will post this for reader input. It's always a possibility that one of my readers has one or both of the books and will send me the Potatoes Delmonico recipe.
