1

Grease 4 small / individual copper or cast iron frying pans with butter.

2

Heat the oven to 180ºC/350F/Gas mark 4.

3

Peel and slice your potatoes very thinly – using a mandolin will get you the best results as they will be super thin and even.

4

Melt the butter in a pan. If you like, you could add a few drops of truffle oil here or a few sprigs of thyme to infuse the butter. Coat the slices of potato in the butter, seasoning well.

5

Layer up the potatoes in the lined tins so that they overlap, continue until you have used up all the potato. If using thyme, add the sprigs into the layers. Cover with buttered parchment paper and foil.

6

Start to cook the pommes Anna on a low heat on the hob for 4-5 minutes so that the bottom begins to turn lovely and golden then bake for 40-45 minutes until tender and well-coloured. Remove the foil towards the end of cooking to help brown if it is still looking a little pale and add a sprinkling of Parmesan over the top, if using.
