Equipment

  • Sharp Chef Knife
  • Mandoline Slicer
  • Small saucepan
  • Pastry brush
  • 9-inch Cast Iron Skillet
  • Small Heavy Lid

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit now. Melt the butter in your small saucepan slowly.
  • Peel all of your Yukon Gold potatoes carefully. Slice them into very thin rounds with your knife.
  • Brush the bottom of your skillet with melted butter. Place one potato slice in the very center.
  • Arrange more slices in a circle around the center. Overlap them slightly to cover the whole pan bottom.
  • Brush this first layer with more melted butter. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the top.
  • Repeat these layers until all potatoes are used up. Press each layer down firmly with your clean hands.
  • Place the skillet on the stove over medium heat. Cook for five minutes until the bottom is brown.
  • Place the heavy lid on top of the potatoes. Put the skillet into the hot oven carefully now.
  • Bake the potatoes for about thirty minutes total. Remove the lid for the last ten minutes.
  • Take the pan out when potatoes feel very soft. Let them rest for five minutes before flipping over.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the very best creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes very thin for even and fast cooking.
  • Clarify the butter to prevent it from burning too fast.
  • Press the layers down hard to make a solid cake.
  • Use a heavy skillet to get a very dark crust.
  • Season every single layer for the best overall flavor profile.
  • Let the dish rest so it stays together when flipping.
  • Flip the cake onto a flat plate very quickly now.
