Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes Can also swap for Russets for a different taste.
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for enhancing the flavor; feel free to adjust.
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Adds warmth; substitute with white pepper if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Clarified Butter Prevents burning and achieves crispy texture; use ghee or a plant-based option for vegan.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil or Additional Butter Used for searing; adds extra richness.
  • 1 clove Garlic Optional; a great aromatic addition if you enjoy garlic.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Herbs Optional; thyme or rosemary offer freshness and complexity.
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Optional; substitute with vegan cheese for plant-based.

Equipment

  • Loaf Pan
  • mandoline
  • Cast iron skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/16-inch rounds using a mandoline. Soak the slices in cold water to prevent browning for about 10 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly.
  3. Layer the potato slices in the loaf pan, brushing each layer with clarified butter and seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Optionally sprinkle fresh herbs or grated Parmesan between layers.
  4. Cover the loaf pan tightly with parchment paper and then aluminum foil. Weigh it down with a heavy object. Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, until tender when pierced with a knife.
  5. Allow the Potato Pave to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then transfer to the refrigerator and chill overnight.
  6. To serve, unmold the chilled Potato Pave using the parchment overhang. Slice and sear each slice in clarified butter until golden brown on both sides.
