directions

  • Slice the potatoes into very thin rounds.
  • You should almost be able to see through them.
  • Melt the butter in a small pan, then pour a little of it over the base of a shallow baking dish.
  • Cover the butter with some of the potato slices, overlapping them slightly.
  • Pour on a little more butter, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover that with another layer of potatoes and seasonings, layering until you have used all the potatoes.
  • Finish with the remaining butter and another dusting of Parmesan.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 220 C or 425 F for 45-50 minutes.
  • From time to time, press the cake down firmly with a large spatula.
  • By the end of the cooking time, the cake should be golden and sizzling around its edges.
  • Remove from the oven and leave it to settle slightly for a few minutes before serving.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
