I don't know the real name of this recipe. I saw it on TV while nursing my newborn a few months ago and decided to give it a try. It was a big hit!
Peel about 8 medium potatoes. Use a mandolin to slice them in uniform chips, or use a knife and just be very precise and patient. Place the slices in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
In a medium saucepan melt about 3 TB of butter and add some olive oil, maybe 4 TB. ?? Brush the sides and bottom of a cast iron skillet with this mixture. Arrange your potato slices in an upright spiral starting at the outside edge and working inward. So, don't lay them flat. Keep them standing.
Slice 2-3 shallots and wedge them in throughout the potato spiral. Pour the remaining butter/oil mixture evenly over the top of your sprial. Top with salt and pepper. Lay fresh sprigs of thyme over top. Bake in a very hot oven, maybe 400 or 425, till it smells really good and they look golden brown here and there.
