Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into 1/16-inch rounds. Soak in cold water to prevent browning, then dry thoroughly.
  3. Layer the potato rounds in the loaf pan, brushing each layer with clarified butter and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours until tender.

  6. Unmold the potato pave the next day, slice it, and sear each side in a nonstick pan until golden brown and crispy.
