It was sauté potatoes I was thinking of though apparently they may or may not come in round slices. Dauphinoise are good too.
Oh ffs! Why do I bother with these dolts! Sautè isn't the manner of which the potato is cut but rather the manner of which they are cooked. It means you fry them In a little oil or fat at a high heat. You can saute all kinds of foods. Even potatoes that have been sliced. Anything else you need to know?

Love sauté tatties me. I still think they are posher than chips even though they are both just fried spuds.
I use Smash if I'm cooking for myself, which is very rare. My wife, on the other hand, considers it to be the work of Satan. Women, eh?
