Directions
-
Preheat your oven's broiler (grill) to high.

Slice the peeled potatoes as thinly as possible using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Use a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to cut uniform circles from the potato slices.
-
Melt 25 grams of butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.

Sauté the potato circles in batches, cooking on both sides until just tender and lightly golden. Drain on paper towels.
-
Lightly butter a small ovenproof dish, then rub the entire bottom surface with the cut side of the garlic clove.
-
Melt the remaining 15 grams of butter in a small saucepan.
-
Arrange the sautéed potato circles in the dish in overlapping layers, creating a mosaic pattern.
-
Brush each layer generously with the melted butter and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Place the dish under the preheated broiler for about 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
