Ingredients
- 1 kg desiree potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced
- 100 g clarified butter or ghee, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line the base and sides of a 20 cm round cake tin with baking paper.
Place a layer of potato slices, overlapping slightly, in the tin. Brush with the melted butter. Continue layering with the remaining potato and butter, finishing with a final drizzle of butter.
Cover the tin with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and gently press down on the potatoes with a metal spatula. Bake uncovered for a further 35–45 minutes or until the potato is crisp and golden, and cooked through.
