Veal cheeks with baked potatoes and chanterelles

We usually eat veal cheeks only in restaurants. And it's a pity. This is a cheap, understandable, uncomplicated dish, the main thing when cooking is not to rush. Let the cheeks sit for 24 hours in the oven at low heat. It takes a long time, but the oven will do all the work for you, and as a result, the cheeks will literally turn into a souffle. You just have to beat this meat tenderness with the help of ruddy potatoes and creamy sauce with chanterelles. And who said that there is no such thing as delicious at home as in a restaurant?
