Well, after I posted yesterday, that I have always called those potatoes,"Potatoes Anna" I decided to Google it and see if they really are called by that name.
I found out that Potatoes Anna are a classic French dish of sliced, layered potatoes cooked in a very large amount of melted butter. (Thanks Wikipedia) Well, my mama always made them sliced as a whole potato. SO much prettier, I think.
I used regular baking potatoes.
Scrub 'em real good since you are eating the skin.
All you need is a sharp knife, a cutting board, and a bunch of clean potatoes. Easy peasy.
Slice each potato in 1/4-1/8 inch slices (sorry, no metric here.) and really, I didn't use a ruler, just eyeball it.
But DON'T slice all the way down if you can help it. You want to retain the potato shape.
Use as many potatoes as you will eat. I figure on one potato per person, except that my boys will eat 2 each. So, I should just go ahead and make the whole 5 pound bag.
Once you have them all sliced, place them in an oiled baking dish.
I sprinkled the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. I cut up a few slices of butter and stuck them randomly in a between a few potatoes here and there.
Crank up the oven to 400 degrees (F) and bake the potatoes for a good 45-60 minutes. Treat them like a baked potato.
The longer you bake them, the crispier and better they will taste. I just love crunchy potatoes.
