Potatoes Anna Recipe

Recipe Introduction


The dual allure of this potatoes Anna recipe: a buttery, soft potato cake on the inside, with a crisp, golden exterior. So simple that it takes only a few ingredients, pommes Anna makes a rustic side dish of potatoes elegant and refined.


List of Ingredients




3 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (like Yukon Golds)
6 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
7 tablespoons clarified butter (aka ghee - see note regarding ghee)
Salt
Ground black pepper

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Recipe



Melt the canola oil and 6 tablespoons of coconut butter together in a large skillet set over high heat. Add 1/3 of the prepared potatoes to the pan and sauté them quickly, until they are light golden outside, yet still raw and crisp on the inside. Transfer the golden potatoes to a large bowl, and repeat the process, in 2 batches, with the remaining potatoes.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Brush a 9-inch round cake pan with ghee.
Line the sides of the pan with some of the potatoes, slightly overlapping them to form a "wall." Layer 1/4 of the remaining potatoes on the bottom of the pan in a spiral pattern, brush them with the ghee, and then season with salt and pepper. Continue this process, in 3 additional batches, building up, until all the potatoes are used.

Gently but firmly, press the potatoes down with a spatula. Fit a greased round of foil over the surface of the potatoes and bake the potatoes Anna in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. The potato cake is ready when the potatoes are tender throughout.

Makes 6 servings.

Note from BL regarding Ghee: Because ghee is only the fats from dairy butter it is thought to be casein-free and acceptable for use on the cf diet. If you are new to the regime and have only recently introduced cf, it is better to not use this product yet. If you have been on the regime for some time and can tell an infraction reaction, challenge ghee before trying this dish. The use of ghee is controversial and may not be the choice for your family.
