Pommes Anna

My Pommes Anna recipe is a simple four-ingredient gorgeous dish of thinly sliced potatoes, butter, salt, and pepper, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious. The perfect contrast of a golden brown, crispy crust and the delicate creamy soft interior of the Pommes Anna elevates the dish beyond the average potato recipe. Julia Child called Pommes Anna the “supreme potato recipe of all time”, and who’s to argue?

  • Start in the center of the skillet, lay single slices of potatoes in a decorative pattern of overlapping concentric circles all the way to the side of the skillet

  • When all the potatoes have been layered, and salt and peppered, place the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on top
  • Place the skillet over medium heat on the stovetop for 4 minutes
  • Gently shake the skillet to ensure the potatoes don’t stick
  • Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven for 25 minutes
  • Remove the cover and cook for an additional 20 minutes, again gently shake the skillet to ensure the potatoes don’t stick
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, gently shake potatoes to make sure they move freely
  • Lay the serving plate face down over the top of the skillet, hold the plate securely to the top of the skillet and in one maneuver, turn the skillet over and transfer the Pommes Anna to the plate
