Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 stick unsalted butter -- (1/4 cup) melted

2 pounds russet (baking) or large yellow-fleshed

potatoes

 

Brush the bottom of a 9-inch heavy oven-proof non-stick or well-

seasoned cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Peel 1

potato, slice it thin, using a food processor fitted with the slicing

blade, or a mandoline or similar slicing device, and pat the slices

dry quickly. Arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, in layers

in the skillet, brushing each layer with some of the remaining 3

tablespoons butter and seasoning it with salt and pepper. Peel,

slice, pat dry, and arrange the remaining potatoes, 1 at a time, in

the same manner.

 

Cover the layered potatoes with foil, weight them with an ovenproof

saucepan, and cook them over moderate heat for 5 minutes from the

time the butter sizzles. Transfer the skillet with the pan weight to

the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven and bake the potatoes for 30

minutes. Remove the weight and the foil and bake the potatoes, for 10

minutes more, or until they are tender. The potatoes may be made 2

hours in advance and kept, covered loosely, at room temperature.

Reheat the potatoes, covered with the foil, in a preheated 375°F.

oven for 15 minutes.
