A true classic. This might be one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes. All of the textures you could want packed into twenty layers of pure bliss.

Ingredients 

  • 3 lb/1.3kg Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
  • 200 g heavy cream 1 stick butter, melted + extra for greasing pan, (3/4c)
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/176°C.
  • Slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline (about ⅙” thick).
  • Toss the sliced potatoes with heavy cream to prevent oxidation.
  • Grease an 8”x8” baking dish with butter, line the bottom with parchment cut to size, & grease with butter again.
  • Shingle potatoes in the pan, about 18-20 slices per layer. Brush each layer with melted butter, & season with salt & pepper.
  • Repeat layering until all potatoes are used.
  • Cover with foil & bake for 80-90 min. Test for doneness using a cake tester—it should be tender with a slight bite.
  • After baking, remove foil & place another piece of parchment on top. Place an 8x8 pan on top & weigh down with cans to press potatoes together.
  • Cool for 30 min, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Cut into strips, then into 1.5-2” pieces.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry pave pieces for 4 min per side until golden and crispy
