Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup clarified butter, plus more as needed
  • 2 lb. red-skinned potatoes, peeled and
  • cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush a 10-inch (25-cm) braiser or gratin dish with 2 Tbs. of the clarified butter.
  • Place 1 potato slice in the center of the pan and cover the bottom with concentric circles of potato slices, slightly overlapping. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 Tbs. of the butter. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form about 4 layers. Cover the pan tightly with a piece of buttered aluminum foil.
  • Set the pan over medium heat and cook until the potatoes sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the pan and press down on the potatoes with the back of a spatula. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are golden brown, about 30 minutes more.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly, then garnish with chives. Cut into slices and serve immediately. Serves 6.
