Pommes Anna (or Potato Anna) is a classic French dish of buttery sliced potatoes stacked into a cake-like form that is baked until crisp on the edges and creamy-tender on the inside. The recipe involves very few ingredients but requires a bit of time to shingle the layers into the pan. The trick is to be able to flip the potato onto a serving dish intact, without any potatoes sticking to the pan. Therefore, you must use a really good non-stick pan or a really well-seasoned cast iron pan to pull it off and when you do, it’s quite a triumph!
ingredients.:
3 lb (1.35kg) low-starch potatoes such as Yukon, yellow or red, sliced 1/8”
For the garlic herb butter:
¾ C (170g) unsalted butter, to be made into clarified butter
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme, rosemary or oregano
1 tsp kosher salt (use 2 tsp if using Diamond Crystal brand)
Black pepper to taste
Flakey salt such as Maldon salt to finish

That would be fun to make and impress friends at a dinner.
I need more inspired cooks in my life because I'm missing out!
My chef loved the mandolin yikes😮
Yum 💖
Love that flipping prep. Haha. Food lookes great, too.
This is even more work lol
I made the mini potato stacks. It wasn’t too much work at all. This is going to be a lot of work lol!
What I should do it if I could buy fry oil..
I noticed that butter when heated seem become oil..
I tried the mini ones. Stuck to the cupcake thingy like cement despite greasing everything, lots of butter, not too high heat, not too long in the oven. I don't know where I went wrong, but I will try my chances with this version next. Good luck to me!
Trying to lose 5kg
I also hate the mandolin. Ugh. And am going to try this. Wow.
Looks so hard 😢
We made stuff like this in culinary school but if you make it smaller you can toss it in the pan and get both sides golden brown.
love that julia childs quote HAHAHHA
