Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Slice Yukon Gold potatoes into even 1/16-inch rounds using a mandoline. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  3. Layer the potatoes in the loaf pan, brushing each layer with clarified butter and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the pan tightly with parchment and foil. Weigh it down and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours.
  5. After baking, let it cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate while still pressed.
  6. Lift the parchment paper to unmold the potato pave. Slice into squares.
  7. In a skillet, heat clarified butter and sear each piece for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
