Hi Guys! You can learn more about my Substack and why I'm building a following there, over here! entertainingwithbeth.substack.com/about

Back in 1965 (probably b4 you were born) a British chef named Robert Carrier (you should Google him) published this dish in his book back in the day and recreated it on his afternoon British food programme and I've been making it ever since. It's a lovely dish that all my family and friends have devoured over the years. Thanks for bringing it back to a new generation.

Sorry, yes I know. But he was such an Anglophile, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind. More importantly, I'm so happy you replied and that someone else remembers this lovely man. Peace.

My father (of Austrian heritage) made this frequently when I was growing up, but he prepared it in a cast iron pan on the stove. Everyone loved it.

In my opinion you can NEVER go wrong with cast iron. I inherited a beautiful highly seasoned cast iron skillet from my great grandmother after she passed away at 96 yrs old. So that cast iron skillet was over 160 yrs old bc not only did my great grandmother passed it down to me but my great grandmothers mom passed it down to her.

Your techniques are impeccable. As a former professional cook, I follow along and have not had to edit. Brava!!

Bonjour! My Mother made a variation of this....she added grated cheese (Gruyere was her favorite) and dribbled a few tablespoons of heavy cream on each layer..... it was wonderful! To serve as an entree, she would add a protein like diced ham....Bon Appetite!

What a beautiful presentation! 😍

Potatoes Anna! Used to be one of my favorites and I added thyme, too! I love that you can make any size. I had a six inch skillet that was perfect since it was just myself. It's actually enough for two, so just right for roasting a couple of bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts for a meal for two. Or two meals for one person. (For that, I would sometimes roast the second breast fresh and reheat the potatoes by flipping back into the original skillet ("crispy" side down) and warming through on a medium heat then flipping back over onto broiler safe plate and finishing for a moment under the broiler if super crispy top is desired again. I usually just warmed in the skillet, turned it up to medium high for a couple of minutes at the end then flipped it back out, bottom side up again, and called it done. Crispy enough! Some quick green veggies and/or salad and done! Yours food always looks gorgeous and you give us all confidence with your calm matter of factness. You just assume we're all capable and so we believe. ❤

Thanks. I was wondering about cast iron.

Cant wait to make this soon for me i never had potatoes anna before perfect for my after office snacks

This just looks so heavenly!!! I’m going to try it! I can’t stand cheese, and I’m always looking for fancy potato dishes that don’t contain it. This is perfection! ❤❤❤

Next Level Tip. Reg. Btr. has 350 smoke point so Use Quick Home Made Clarified KERRYGOLD Butter, Lay 5-8 Sprigs of Thyme (or Rosemary or Tarragon or Parsley etc.) On Bottom with Butter and begin. The flavors cook up thru the potatoes leaving you an even balance of flavor thru out. Also, add a small amount of good freshly grated Parma. Reggi. Cheese to each layer and back off salt a bit to compensate. I like to blast mine on stove top on High for 5 min to get the bottom started.

Potato pie, as it's commonly known as in the northeast, I've made this dish a few times it is a fun to prepare and hearty dish.

I love potatoes Anna and I also put fresh thyme in every layer. Thanks for reminding me to make it again. It’s been a while. Take care. ♥️

@EntertainingWithBeth -Not the most frequent commenter I know, but I had to just take a moment again Beth, to say how very much I appreciate you. After all these years, you still take the time to try to answer/reply to as many of your audience as you can. It really touches me. Most don't know how much time and effort (not to mention expense) goes in to making the lovely videos that you share. And to do it while loving and raising a family at the same time? Traveling, juggling two homes, one here, one in France...Shew! Not for the faint of heart! I enjoy so much reading through the comments and pay particular attention to the one's you answer, as I still learn so much! For example, the person who asked if you could do it with sweet potatoes instead. And you not only told them yes, but took the time to give them ideas on how they could do it! Your experience and passion for cooking and entertaining really shine through in moments like that, not just in your videos. I feel so privileged to be able to enjoy the free content on KZread. And your channel is still and absolute favorite of mine and for very good reason! You are an inspiration. Truly Beth. I would be so proud to have accomplished as much as you have... Enjoy your life! And thank you again for teaching me how to add beauty and delicious foods to my life! Can you believe it's almost Spring? You'll be back in France before you know it! xx ~Sun☀ Edited to say, I made this dish last night and it was as delicious as it was beautiful!😍

Sixty or so years ago, Julia Child taught me that butter is one of Nature's most perfect foods and a 'sufficient' amount is never too much.

My Dad would make something like this in a cast iron pan with bacon grease using a potato peeler. The top would come out like potato chips, and the center like au gratin potatoes. I haven't been able to match it.

Yummy! Can you do a Sweet Potatoes Anna, too? Or is that not possible? I'm trying to figure out how to do it with brown sugar and pecans without scorching it!

@EntertainingWithBeth

3 ай бұрын

Oh yes you could! This is what I would do. Make the first layer in the pan, just with the melted butter so it doesn't stick. Then after each layer brush with the garlic butter and add a sprinkle of brown sugar, or for a subtler touch a drizzle of maple syrup, I might even swap the thyme for fresh sage would would be an awesome combo too!

2:10 and russet potatoes are nearly impossible to get clean. So peel them. Then a quick rinse to get any dirt off. The crunch of dirt in my food is a turn-off

Salted butter here in the US isn't really salty, meaning it's not like French butters where you actually taste the salt. It's just more "flavorful".
