Potato dish
This is an item on a menu.
Zander im Knuspermantel auf Safransauce,
sautierten Zucchini und Schlosskartoffeln
I've found out that this potato dish is known as "pommes-château" in French and have found them referred to as both potato croquettes and diced potato (which I don't think sounds like a good translation). However, I'm still not really sure. I asked the customer, but their explanation wasn't much help either:
Schlosskartoffeln: (auf Französisch) Pommes-Château - Pommes nature, es kommt auf den Schnitt an! Diese speziell geschnittenen Kartoffeln werden ganz gewöhlich im Wasser gekocht.
I have also seen these referred to in English by the French name, but was wondering if there is an English translation (the link also describes how these are prepared):

Thank you very much!

TO PREPARE CHATEAU POTATOES: Cut the potatoes about 3/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch deep and 1 inch long. Carve each piece into the shape of an olive (relatively uniform pieces will cook evenly). (....)

: often accompanies chateaubriand, so keeping it in French makes sense
