Potato Cake
Ce gâteau de pommes de terre me vient de ma grand-mère (mais si vous savez, la grand-mère qui me fait aussi des baked apples !), j’adore qu’elle m’en fasse quand je vais déjeuner chez elle. C’est un peu son petit plat « chouchou » avec les gnocchis di patate (oui, ma grand-mère est très patates !!!) et moi j’adore ça ! C’est vraiment un plat super simple qui ne demande que deux ingrédients que sont les pommes de terre et le beurre (good and then also salt and pepper but that doesn't really count huh ?!). Oui, because the whole thing holds together thanks to the starch of the potato, it is therefore important not to pass them under water, and the butter is used to nicely brown everything in the oven.
And then as the new potatoes arrive, it allows you to change the way you cook potatoes, yes because mash is good but sometimes you get tired of it… potato monday, potato tuesday, Potato Wednesday too… (don't thank me for the look in your head right now, it's offered !!!) ! Go zou a potato cake for tonight !


- 600 g potatoes
- 70 g of butter
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 180°.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into thin rounds using a mandolin, do not rinse them.
- Melt the butter. Brush a sheet of parchment paper with a little butter then put this sheet on a baking sheet.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes nicely on the buttered sheet to form a circle, then add a little butter with a brush, salt and pepper between the different layers. Finish by finishing with the butter.
- Bake 25-30 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve with a good salad.

But what kind of potatoes do you recommend? ? At the moment I only have rattes in stock and suddenly I wonder if it would be ok ?
Anyway, thank you for sharing your family recipes, they all make one want more than the other !

The early potatoes that we find at the moment on the markets are perfect for this recipe so fingerlings are very good, it will only be better !!!
