CHEZ LOUIS POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. There should be about 4 1/2 pounds when peeled. Drop the potatoes into cold water until ready to cook. Bring enough water to boil to cover the potatoes when they are added. Add salt to taste. Add potatoes and cook 25 minutes, or until they are slightly undercooked. They will cook later in the oven.
• Meanwhile preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drain the potatoes and put them in a large heavy skillet. Sprinkle generously with pepper and add 16 tablespoons of butter. Using a large heavy spoon, cut the potatoes haphazardly into chunks, each about 2 inches thick. Let them cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning the pieces over so that they brown evenly. Meanwhile, heat a large heavy skillet (preferably a 12-inch, number 10 black iron skillet) until it is hot and almost smoking. Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and pour it into the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and the potato mixture, mix together and then flatten it on top with a large heavy metal spoon. Let cook moderately high heat for three minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and bake 15 minutes.
• Remove form the oven and pour off the free butter from around the sides, taking care not to let the potatoes fall form the skillet (this butter may be recycled and put to other uses, such as scrambling eggs). Cover the skillet with a heat proof round dish, such as a pizza pan. Invert the skillet onto the pan, allowing the potatoes to fall evenly on the pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake 15 minutes longer. Pour off any free-flowing butter from the pan. Carefully slide the pie from the pizza pan or other pan onto a round serving dish. Sprinkle the garlic into a circle in the center of the pie, garnish around the circle of garlic with an outer circle of chopped parsley. Serve with the perfect roasted chicken, T-bone or roasted lobster

CRISPY POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large mixing bowl with a clean dish towel. Position the box grater in the bowl and grate the potatoes and onion using the largest holes. Bundle the towel and wring out the excess water into the bowl. The more moisture you release, the crispier the latkes will be. Discard the liquid.
• Heat duck fat, schmaltz, or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350 degrees F). Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix grated potatoes and onion with 2 eggs, flour, matzo meal, and salt until there's no visible flour. If the mixture seems dry and it's not holding together, add one more egg.
• Using your hands, form the latke mixture into golf ball-sized balls, then flatten slightly into thick pancakes. Gently place them one at a time into the oil, which should bubble around the latke but not burn the edges. Fill the pan with just enough latkes so they don't overcrowd the pan (you'll probably get about a half-batch in). Fry until golden on one side, 1-2 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until golden, 1-2 more minutes.
• Remove latkes to a wire rack fitted over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Finish cooking the inside by baking, 10-12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.
