Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
- 2 1/2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Using a mandoline, food processor with slicing attachment, or a knife, slice the potatoes fairly thin. Choose an oven-safe 10-inch skillet to use for this recipe. Melt 2.5 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. While that's cooking, melt the other 3 tablespoons butter in a measuring cup. Once the butter in the skillet is melted, start on the outside of the skillet and layer in a circle, overlapping slightly. Continue until the skillet is covered, sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, and drizzle some of the melted butter over the top. Now, create several more layers of potatoes, salt and pepper and butter, finishing with the butter. Once done, place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until layers are crisp.
