Company Potatoes
6 T. butter, melted (divided)
3 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
salt and pepper
Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter to a 10-inch cast-iron or heavy ovenproof skillet. Arrange a single layer of potato slices, slightly overlapping, in a circular pattern in the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Drizzle a little more melted butter over the potatoes. Repeat the layer 5 times, ending with drizzled butter. Press down firmly to pack.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes at 450°F. Uncover and bake another 25 minutes until potatoes are golden. Place a 10- or 12-inch plate upside down on top of the pan and flip the pancake onto the plate.
Makes 8 servings.
