Sandy Potatoes Pommes De Terre Sablees Recipes

SANDY POTATOES -- POMMES DE TERRE SABLEES

Steps:

• Choose a frying pan (I use non-stick) big enough to fit all the potatoes in one layer.
• Melt the butter in this pan and lay in the whole baby potatoes or potato wedges.
• Cook over a low heat, so the butter does not burn, turning the potatoes several times so they become golden all over.
• Smaller potatoes should be cooked in 25 minutes, while larger ones may take up to 40 minutes.
• When they are tender, add the extra butter and the breadcrumbs.
• Sauté for a couple more minutes until the breadcrumbs are crispy.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Melt half the butter with the olive oil in a saute pan, and gently fry the onions until soft and lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Spread half the onions in the bottom of a casserole. Lay a layer of sliced potatoes on top, season with salt and pepper, and scatter with thyme leaves. Build another layer of onions, then a final one of potatoes, and finally pour over the stock. Cover the pan with foil, and bake until all the liquid has been absorbed, 2 to 3 hours, removing the foil for the last hour if you like a crisp top.
