## Ingredients

- russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 12 tablespoon clarified butter
- kosher salt
- creme fresh
- chives

## Instructions

1. Coat the potato slices with about 12 tablespoons of clarified butter, using four potato slices per layer.
2. Layer potato slices in a loaf pan, seasoning each layer with salt and brushing with clarified butter.
3. Bake at 300°F for 2 hours until the skewer comes out clean.
4. Put on a second loaf pan on top of the cooked potatoes and press.
5. Chill under weight overnight so the gelatinized starch sets and retrogrades.
6. Slice into rectangles with clean edges.
7. Deep-fry until each piece is golden and crispy, yet creamy inside.
8. Season with kosher salt.
9. Serve with a dollop of creme fresh and chives.
