Individual Pommes Anna is a delightful French dish that consists of thinly sliced potatoes, layered with butter, garlic, and thyme. This recipe provides a perfect blend of simplicity and elegance, making it an excellent choice for both casual meals and special occasions. With just a few ingredients, you can create a visually stunning and delectable side dish that will impress your guests.
Instructions:
- Arrange a single layer of potato slices in each muffin tin cup or ramekin.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly coat this layer with the garlic-thyme butter mixture.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the layer.
- Continue layering the potatoes, brushing each layer with the garlic-thyme butter and seasoning with salt and pepper, until the muffin tins or ramekins are filled, slightly mounding the top layer as the potatoes will shrink while baking. Reserve some of the butter mixture for later.
- If using a muffin tin, place it directly into the preheated oven.
- If using ramekins, place them on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer the sheet to the oven.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the tops are golden brown and crispy. You can test doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; it should slide through easily.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin or ramekins from the oven.
- Let them rest for a few minutes to settle.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the potatoes, then gently lift them out of the muffin tin or ramekins using a fork or spatula.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes of similar size for uniform cooking.
- Use a mandoline slicer to achieve thin and even potato slices.
- Ensure each potato slice is evenly coated with melted butter for optimal flavor.
- Arrange the potato slices in overlapping layers to create a compact and cohesive dish.
- Monitor the oven temperature and cover the dish with aluminum foil if the top layer browns too quickly.
- Let the dish cool slightly before unmolding to help retain its shape.
