Note there are many poor recipes on the net. This one comes close to the original http://www.turkeyhelp.com/POMMES_ANNA.htm as you can see here http://www.turkeyhelp.com/Pommes_ANNaill.htm#6 it results in a rather shallow mound of potatoes. When done right the end result is a high golden potato cake. it,s hard to do without a special pan like this one http://www.kitchenemporium.com/cgi-bin/kitchen/prod/21wo651816.html One of the important tricks is not to wash the potatoes after slicing and to dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Also you need to use clarified butter. Then the starch causes the formation of a cake.Even though the receipe calls for a large amount of butter one should be able to pour most of it out of the pan upon completion. Traditionally it is served together with a saddle of lamb roughly everything between the pelvis and lower ribs rolled into a nice shape. Netx time i,ll make one i,ll take a pic to keep it on topic. best regards simon jessurun - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
