Potatoes aren't a backbone starch in the South, but they're one vegetable, notes Miss Lewis, that is good in all seasons.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 1/4 hr

  • Yield

    Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds boiling potatoes
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.

    Step 2

    Peel potatoes and thinly slice (about 1/16 inch thick), then toss with butter, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread evenly in a 2-quart shallow baking dish and add broth. Cover tightly with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is well-browned and most of stock is absorbed, 30 to 35 minutes more.
