Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with melted butter, cream, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic if using.
- Ensure the parchment paper fits snugly inside the loaf pan.
- Layer the potatoes in the pan, overlapping slightly, and press down occasionally to compact.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 75 to 90 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Place a weight on top and refrigerate overnight to set the layers.
- Slice into rectangles and sear in a skillet with a bit of butter until golden and crisp on both sides.
Notes
- Chilling overnight is key for clean slices and perfect texture.
- Use a mandoline for uniform potato slices.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet for best results.
