Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan). Brush the base of a 26 cm / 10 inch cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of clarified butter.
2. Peel the potatoes and slice them 1.5 mm / 0.6 inch thick on a mandolin. Sort the slices into small, medium and large piles without soaking them in water.
3. Make the first layer: place one medium slice in the centre, then build a spiral of medium slices overlapping by about three quarters. Add a larger-slice spiral around it, overlapping the first so the base is fully covered. Tuck small slices into the centre gap.
4. Brush generously with clarified butter without disturbing the slices, then season with a third of the salt and the white pepper.
5. Repeat the spiral layering, brushing and seasoning, for two more layers.
6. Cover the top with a circle of baking paper and bake for 70 minutes.
7. Remove the paper and bake a further 30 minutes until the top and edges are deep golden and crisp.
8. Rest for 10 minutes, then flip onto a plate and serve immediately.
