Potatoes Anna are thin sliced potatoes cooked with clarified butter
OMG these potatoes are da BOMB and are so easy to prepare. Usually Potatoes Anna is done in a screaming hot cast iron skillet and finished under the broiler and is made from just potatoes and clarified butter. I sort of invented my own easy way to prepare Potatoes Anna Style. I’m calling these Potatoes Anna Style because I didn’t use a cast iron pan or clarify the butter and I added some seasoning so they are Anna Style. These potatoes just melt in your mouth and are seasoned just so. The butter in the potatoes gets slightly browned and makes the potatoes super delicious. You do need to make the potato slices very thin for the potatoes to work out. I used a mandolin. Very easy to prepare. The hardest part is slicing the potatoes.
Ingredients for about 10 servings
3 lbs red potatoes peeled and sitting in a large bowl of cold water
non stick spray
3oz unsalted butter – melted
1 Tablespoon course sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Set oven to 425 degrees F and spray a casserole bowl with non stick spray and set the bowl to the side.
To your dish of melted butter add the salt, peppers, thyme and paprika and mix well. Set to the side.
Using a mandolin or whatever devise you normally use to slice potatoes like potato chip thin use it. Shake the water off the potato, blot dry and slice up one potato at a time. Use Line the sprayed bowl with potato slices by starting in the center and work your way around but stop when you finished one layer.
Each layer gets brushed with the seasoned butter….but make sure you try to get the butter from the bottom of the dish because the seasonings settle there. Next time I think I’ll let the butter get to room temperature and mix in the seasonings and just squirt the butter out around the potatoes with a parchment bag.
Repeat till you are done.
This gets covered and goes in the 425 degree F oven for an hour. After an hour remove the lid and it goes back in the oven 15-20 minutes to brown.
This is a #CrowdPleaser EVERYONE out there will FORKING LOVE these potatoes!
