Method

  1. Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain well. Preheat the oven with a baking sheet inside to 230°C/fan210°C/gas 8.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan. Brush 2 x 120ml ramekins (7cm across the base) with melted butter and neatly overlap a few potato slices to cover the base of each ramekin. Brush with butter, then season with a little salt and plenty of coarsely ground black pepper. Repeat, pressing each layer down so the slices lay flat and fill the gaps (don’t worry if they break up a little) until the ramekins are full. Brush the top liberally with butter.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the heat down to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 and bake for 10 minutes until crisp and golden. Run a knife around the edge of each cake, turn out and serve.
