Alinea - Hot Potato

Dish 14: Hot Potato with cold potato, black truffle, butter.

Paired with Bruno Paillard 'Premiere Cuvee' Brut Rose, Reims

A study in temperatures. A hot potato soup rests in a small paraffin wax bowl. Spearing the bowl is a needle with a ball of cold potato topped with a slice of black truffle, and a tiny cube of butter and cheese. One pulls the needle from the bowl, allowing the other elements to drop into the soup. Then tip it towards your mouth and enjoy the different flavors, temperatures, and textures .
