Special Spuds
From easy to elegant, Jacques Pepin shares more than 125 recipes from his legendary career. With his usual ease and flair, Jacques cooks what he loves -- from classical Escoffier Quenelles to homey Braised Beef in Red Wine, and mouth-watering treats, including a Quick Almond Plum Cake and a perfect Chocolate Mousse. It's no wonder that Julia Child called Jacques "the best chef in America!"

Jacques shows chef and restaurant owner Loretta Keller his step-by-step way to the perfect French Fry. He then makes smooth and creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes, just like his aunt did years ago. Then another dish from his childhood, Potato Ragout. The refined version of scalloped potatoes, known as Gratin Dauphinoise, is next and finally, a French classic, Cream Puff Potatoes.
