Ingredients:
- 2 potatoes
- 5 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. If you have one, use a mandolin for even slices.
-
Butter Mould: Thickly butter a deep charlotte mould. Line the sides with potato slices placed closely together and attached firmly to the butter.
-
Layer Potatoes: Cover the bottom of the mould with a layer of potato slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt, freshly ground pepper, and flecks of butter. Repeat the layering process until the mould is three-quarters full, ensuring each layer is seasoned and buttered.
-
Cover and Bake: Cover the top of the potatoes with buttered paper to prevent excessive browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharply pointed knife.
-
Serve: To serve, run the blade of a knife around the inside of the mould. Place a heated plate over the mould and invert, giving a sharp tap as the plate is set down to turn out the contents. The inside should be soft, and the outside crust should be crisp and golden brown.
