Baked Potatoes Savoiarda Style - Patate in Crostata alla Savoiarda

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Baked potatoes Savoiarda Style is a frankly libidinous, almost sinful combination of cheese and potatoes. In short, a tasty cheesy delight.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 1/2 pounds (2 kilos) potatoes
  • Melted unsalted butter
  • Grated Cheese (I would go with Raschera or Grana Padano)
  • 1 cup fresh cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Peel 4 1/2 pounds (2 kilos) of raw potatoes, cut them into medallions, and boil them for 10 minutes in salted water. Drain them well and interlayer them with melted butter and grated cheese place them in an oven-resistant terracotta or ceramic serving dish, seasoning them with salt and pepper as you layer them. Sprinkle a cup of fresh cream over them, and cook them in a medium oven (375 F, 185 C) oven until they are tender and golden. Serve them hot.

They're even better if you mix some juices from a roast into the cream.
