Recipe - Potatoes Anna

2 teaspoon Olive oil
2 teaspoon Unsalted butter
3 pound New potatoes, peeled and
thinly cut or sliced up
One half cup Chopped fresh Italian
parsley (flat leaf)
One fourth cup Finely minced fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground
pepper
Three fourths cup Chicken broth (I use
vegetable broth)

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees (F).

2. Lightly spray or wipe a 10inch castiron skillet with vegetable oil
and place it in the oven; heat the skillet for 20 minutes. Carefully
remove the skillet and place it on a burner over high heat. If
necessary, wipe out any burned oil with a paper towel. Heat the olive
oil and butter in the skillet and swirl in the pan to coat it evenly.
Overlap the potato slices, beginning in the center of the pan and
continuing up the sides. Working quickly, layer in all the potatoes,
seasoning with parsley, rosemary, salt, and plenty of freshly ground
pepper between the layers. Pour the broth over the potatoes. Lightly
spray or wipe the outside and bottom of a 9inch cake pan with vegetable
oil and place it on the potatoes. Weight the cake pan with pie weights
or beans.

3. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the
potatoes are tender. Run a metal spatula around the edge of the
skillet. Invert the potato cake onto a platter, cut it into eight
wedges, and serve immediately.
