Thinly slice potatoes and layer with punchy cream flavor, this Potato Pavé is inspired by Thomas Keller’s take on scalloped potatoes. The texture is layered and crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside.

4 SERVING

Ingredients:

2.5 lb. Russet Potato
2 cup Whipping Cream
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Italian Spice
1 oz. Butter
1 tbsp. Sliced Garlic
Seasoning
0.5 tsp. Thyme
0.5 tsp. Black Pepper
0.5 tsp. Salt

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven at 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

Thinly slice the potato and soak them in cold water.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine fresh cream, salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of Italian spice together. Mix well.

Step 4

Dip each potato slice in cream sauce.

Step 5

In a loaf pan, line a parchment paper covering the entire pan, then add butter on the bottom of the baking pan. Arrange each sliced potato that has been dipped with cream sauce in the pan to form an even layer in the bottom of the pan; repeat process to form a second layer.

Step 6

Continue layering potatoes and adding cream sauce after every two layers until pan is filled. Fold sides of parchment paper over potatoes. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until potatoes are completely tender.

Step 7

Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Transfer the baked potatoes on a cutting board and let potatoes cool to room temperature. Trim sides of pave and cut into 10 equal pieces.

Step 8

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add enough oil to coat. When oil is hot, add potatoes and garlic and pan-fry all sides of each baked potato layer pieces until golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Transfer potatoes to a serving platter and arrange browned side up. Enjoy!
