How to Make Potato Pavé

Video Description

Potato pavé is basically a tater tot as conceived by a Michelin-starred restaurant: crispy and crunchy on the outside, creamy and tender on the inside, perfect for serving up with literally anything you can think of, whether it’s a rosy slab of prime rib, a beautifully bronzed duck breast, or something even more elegant, like a chicken-stuffed chicken crown (Poulet Farci) and a puddle of savory Chicken Demi-Glace. It consists of thinly sliced russet potatoes, salt, and clarified butter—that’s it. Layered in a loaf pan, gently baked, then chilled and pressed until the gelatinized potato starch sets and retrogrades, it’s basically a potato terrine that gets sliced into rectangles with clean edges and then deep fried.
