6 servings
Ingredients
1½
- 2 lbs potatoes
¼ cup peanut, vegetable, or corn oil
6 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400
°F.
Peel and slice the potatoes thin and drop the slices into cold water.
Drain. Drop them into cold water to cover and bring to the boil.
Simmer four minutes and drain well.
Add the oil and four tablespoons of butter to a ten-inch skillet and,
when the butter is melted and the oil very hot, add the potatoes in neat
layers.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake the potatoes about fifteen minutes, or until golden brown on the
bottom.
Carefully turn them in the skillet, preferably keeping the crust intact.
Bake twenty minutes longer, or until golden brown on the other side.
Brush with remaining two tablespoons of butter, melted, and serve. |
