Pommes Anna, anyone?

[Obamarama]

After years of seeing this recipe in one of my French cookbooks and thinking to myself "this seems too simple to be worthwhile," I tried making Pommes (Potatoes) Anna today.

Best. Potatoes. EVER. Layer thinly sliced potatoes in a skillet, brushing each layer with melted butter and seasoning with salt and pepper. Repeat until there are about two inches of potatoes layered, cover with aluminum foil and weight down the top with another skillet.

Stick in a 425 oven for 1/2 and hour. Take off the aluminum foil and put back in the oven for another 1/2 hour, or until the top layer is crispy, golden brown. Cool for five minutes and cut into wedges and ENJOY. All crispy and crunchy on the outside, silky and buttery in the inside.

Who new such a simple recipe could be so sublime? If there are potatoes in heaven, they're Pommes Anna.
