Sweet potatoes provide more nutrients.

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them using a mandolin to 1/16th of an inch thick.

Prepare a loaf pan by brushing softened butter on the bottom and lining it with parchment paper.

Layer the sliced potatoes in the pan, overlapping them slightly.

Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and add cubes of butter between layers.

Repeat the layering process until the pan is filled, using all four potatoes if necessary.

Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and weigh them down with a piece of cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil.

Bake in the oven until cooked through, then refrigerate overnight to set.

The next day, deep fry or pan sear the potato pave until crispy and golden brown.
