Cuisine

A comforting dish that has warmed families during harsh winters in the Vosges mountains for generations, Toffé consists of layered potatoes, plenty of leeks, and smoked pork meats slowly simmered for hours. It is one of the hidden gems reflecting the rustic and cozy character of rural France.

  3. Season each layer lightly with salt and pepper.
