Mille Fenuille Potatoes Ingredients:
– 2 large Asterix potatoes, sliced very thin
– 100 ml of fresh cream
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan (or grana padano)
– salt to taste
– pepper to taste THE
– grated nutmeg to taste (optional) THE
– thyme to taste (fresh leaves) (optional)
PREPARATION:
- Separate the ingredients and utensils for the recipe.
- Prepare the baking tray: grease it lightly with butter or line it with baking paper to make it easier to unmold.
- In a bowl, mix the whipping cream with salt and pepper (and nutmeg or thyme, if desired).
- Wash, peel and dry the potatoes well.
- Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible, preferably with a mandolin (5. the slices should be very thin, almost transparent).
- If you don’t have a mandolin: Use a very sharp knife and keep the thickness of the slices uniform.
PREPARATION:
THOUSAND LEAF POTATOES (LAMINATED AND GRATINATED POTATOES):
- Place the potato slices in the bowl with the seasoned cream and mix well with your hands, making sure all the slices are covered.
- Melt the butter in a non-metallic bowl in the microwave.
- Form an even layer of potatoes in the pan, overlapping the slices slightly.
- Press each layer lightly with your hands to ensure greater compaction.
- Brush the layer with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Repeat the process until all the ingredients are used.
- Cover with aluminum foil (grease the part in contact with the potatoes to prevent them from sticking).
- Place a weight on the potatoes (for example a 1kg bag of rice) and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
For roasting:
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC or the minimum temperature of your equipment.
- Remove the pan from the refrigerator and remove the weight.
- Cook for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender (test with a toothpick in the center).
- After cooking: Put the weight back on the potatoes and place them in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Finish:
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC.
- Turn out the potato millefeuille onto a cutting board and cut it into regular squares with a very sharp knife.
- Arrange the squares on a baking tray and bake until golden brown.
- Tip: Brush the potatoes lightly with butter or olive oil for a brighter, crispier finish.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Remove the a thousand potato leaves from the oven and arrange them on a serving plate or directly on plates.
- Serve immediately.
- Pairing suggestion: Pairs perfectly with roast meats, poultry or vegetarian dishes. For a visual pop, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
