    Method

    1. 1

      Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Slice the potatoes 1-2 mm thick on a mandoline; don't rinse them.

    2. 2

      Brush a 25 cm (10 in) oven-safe skillet with butter. Arrange the slices in overlapping concentric circles, brushing each layer with butter and seasoning lightly.

    3. 3

      Press down firmly, cook on the stove over medium heat 5 minutes until the bottom starts to sizzle, then cover with foil.

    4. 4

      Bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake 20-25 minutes more until a knife slides through and the edges are deep gold.

    5. 5

      Loosen the edges, pour off excess butter, and invert onto a plate. Cut into wedges.
