Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, preferably using a mandoline slicer to ensure uniform thickness.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a round cake pan or a springform pan with some melted butter.
- Layer the potato slices in the pan, starting from the center and overlapping them in a circular pattern.
- After the first layer, brush a little melted butter over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle some of the Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper over the layer.
- Continue layering the potatoes, brushing each layer with melted butter and seasoning it with Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Repeat the process until all the potato slices are used up. Make sure to reserve a little butter for the top layer.
- Brush the top layer with the remaining melted butter.
- Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese, if desired, for a crispy, cheesy top.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the potato cake to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edge to loosen the cake, then carefully remove it from the pan.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm as a side dish or a main course.
Tips:
- Choose firm, starchy potatoes such as Russets or Yukon Golds for the best texture.
- Use a mandoline slicer to ensure even, thin potato slices for consistent cooking and layering.
- Allow the potato cake to cool slightly before cutting. This will help the slices hold together better.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add additional herbs for extra flavor.
