Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Brush skillet base and sides with a little olive oil.
- Slice potatoes: Slice potatoes 3-4mm thick. A mandoline will make short work of this.
- Toss: Place in large bowl, pour in all butter plus 1 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Toss well with hands, separating the slices so they are all coated with oil.
- Layer in skillet: Layer potato in skillet in a circular pattern, overlapping the slices. (See post for details)
- Bake covered 30 minutes: Cover with foil, bake for 30 minutes until potato is quite soft (almost fully cooked).
- Brush with oil: Remove from oven, turn up to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan). Remove foil, brush potato with remaining 1 tbsp oil.
- Bake uncovered 20 minutes: Bake 20 minutes until tops are golden and slightly crisp, and potato is cooked through (check with a knife or skewer).
- Serve: Scatter with more rosemary leaves, a whole sprig of rosemary and pinch of sea salt flakes if desired. Serve immediately! Sweet potato loses crispiness as it cools.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes – To fill a 26cm / 11.5" cast iron skillet as pictured in post, you will need 1kg / 2lb of potato slices. Recipe calls for 1.25kg / 2.5lb to factor in peeling and trimming. For a neat spiral, we want to use rounds that are as similar size as possible.
- Storage – Best made and eaten fresh when you have lovely little crispy edges. Leftovers won't have those crispy edges, but are still tasty!
