so, so delicious. Great when entertaining dinner party guests, the recipe isn't
actually all that difficult.

🧂 Ingredients

8 large Potatoes

peeled
200 grams Butter
2 tbsp Oil

something neutral with a high smoke point
1 pinch Salt
2 sprigs Rosemary

optional

Instructions

1 Cut your potatoes down to cylinders that are about 3-4 cm tall. You can use a
cookie cutter, a knife, a vegetable peeler, or a combination of the three. Round
the edges of one side so it forms a sort of dome. See pictures for reference.
2 In a pan add the oil and turn the heat up to max. Place the potatoes rounded
side down and let fry for a few minutes, until evenly browned.
3 Lower the heat to medium low, flip the potatoes, add all the butter and
rosemary, as well as a sprinkling of salt. Let cook for another minute or two,
until all the butter is melted.
4 Pop the entire pan into an oven preheated to 210 degrees Celsius and bake for
about 20 minutes. Test the center with a toothpick and if there is zero
resistance then they are done, if you feel any resistance at all pop them back
in for another 5 minutes and then test again.
5 When the potatoes are done let them rest for a couple minutes, then serve and
enjoy!
