Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 large Shallots
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.
Peel and finely slice the shallots into thin rings.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Arrange a single layer of potato slices on the bottom of the skillet, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and scatter a few shallot rings on top.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, shallots, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are used up. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of oil and butter for later.
Turn the heat to medium-low, place a lid or a sheet of aluminum foil over the skillet, and cook for 20 minutes, occasionally pressing down with a spatula to compress the layers. This helps form a cohesive pie.
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and check if the bottom layer of potatoes is golden and crisp. If not, cook for an additional 5 minutes uncovered.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top of the potatoes and transfer the skillet to the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the potato pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
