Potatoes Anna

Really simple side
Potatoes Anna are sliced potatoes, butter, salt & pepper. A mandolin makes the slicing work super easy.
The cast iron and the egg add the crunchy, smokey goodness.

Yep.  Been making a similar pommes anna recipe for years but was planning to make it on the Egg for the first time tomorrow.  My family asks me to make these all the time. I find that unsalted butter is best. 
Super easy and you can make as much or as little as you need!

Wow, looks great. Just picked up a mandolin recently and I'm not sure how I spent most of my life without one. May have a go at these this weekend.

So if the recipe calls for these to be in the oven at 450, shouldn't the platesetter be in to create indirect heat? I would think having the cast iron over the direct heat would cause some burning? No?

Mantoothian

Bump. Anyone? Do you cook these covered first? Platesetter in? salt and pepper on each layer of potatoes? I'm making them for friendsgiving and don't want to screw it up...

Yes, platesetter in. @Mantoothian

@Mantoothian , sorry for the slow response, been traveling for work.  Yes plate setter in, salt and pepper and a drizzle of butter on each layer.

Preheat Egg to 450° Indirect.Combine 1tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in a small bowl. Melt an additional 1 Tbs unsalted butter to drizzle between layers.  3lbs peeled baking potatoes sliced thin.Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof heavy skillet over medium heat. Arrange a single layer of potato slices, slightly overlapping, in a circular pattern in pan; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt mixture. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon melted butter over potatoes. Repeat the layers 5 times, ending with butter. Press firmly to pack. Cover and bake at 450° for 20 minutes.Uncover and bake an additional 25 minutes or until potatoes are golden. Loosen edges of potatoes with a spatula. Place a plate upside down on top of pan; invert potatoes onto plate. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

Hope that helps.
