Crusty Potatoes Anne

This week’s recipe is crispy potatoes, from the book “What Einstein Told His Cook“. I made a few changes to the recipe, along with salt and pepper I also added garlic powder. Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Don’t make the mistake of adding to much salt like I did, lol.

  • 4 median potatoes, preferably Yukon Golds
  • 2 to 4 Tablespoons clarified butter
  • Coarse salt Freshly ground pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Next, get a pan and a lit to fit, (I did not use a lid) and butter the pan generously. Wash and dry your potatoes, then cut them into slices; to peal or not to peal is your choice.
  2. Arrange a single layer of Potato slices into the pan in a spiral pattern with the potatoes overlapping, or if you have rectangle pan like I did, just layer then in a row. Brush the first potato layer with butter, then sprinkle the salt and pepper. I melted my butter and only had one layer of potatoes because I wanted to do one serving. Keep layering and adding butter and your seasonings until all layers are finished.
  3. Pour melted butter on the top and then place them in the oven. you can boil your cut potatoes, but I chose not to. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown.
  4. Hope you enjoy the recipe, happy baking!
