Melt 250 grams of butter in a saucepan with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 clove of grated garlic.

Grease the baking tray with baking paper and more butter to keep it in place.

Slice the potatoes to a thickness of about 3-4 millimeters using a mandolin or peeler.

Brush the greased tray with the melted butter mixture.

Layer the potato slices in the tray, slightly overlapping them.

After each layer of potatoes, brush more melted butter on top.

Press down on the layers after every three to four layers to compact them.

Cover the tray with aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 150°C for about 2 hours.

Check the potatoes with a paring knife to see if they are tender.

Once cooked, place another tray on top and weigh it down with tins to compress the layers.

Let it cool for 15-20 minutes, then refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.

To release the potato block, dip the tray in hot water to melt the butter.

Remove the baking paper and slice the potato block to desired thickness.

Heat a pan on medium heat and add about 10 grams of butter.

Fry the potato slices in the pan until golden brown, ensuring the inside cooks through.

Alternatively, deep fry the potato cake for more flavor.
