Potatoes aren't a backbone starch in the South, but they're one vegetable, notes Miss Lewis, that is good in all seasons.

Ingredients

Makes 4 to 6 servings

2 pounds boiling potatoes
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.

    Step 2

    Peel potatoes and thinly slice (about 1/16 inch thick), then toss with butter, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread evenly in a 2-quart shallow baking dish and add broth. Cover tightly with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is well-browned and most of stock is absorbed, 30 to 35 minutes more.

  • Incredibly easy, simple and so, so delicious. Crazy there is no cream or cheese in it because it sure tastes like it!

  • 让我惊讶的是,每个人都爱这个easy dish. I served it with pork tenderloin and braised cabbage, and it beautifully rounded out a simple dinner. This recipe will certainly go in the rotation.

  • Thought it was going to be bland but it was delicious. I did add more chicken broth. Threw some chives on top at end.

  • Needed a quick potato recipe for dinner for 10. This fits the bill perfectly. Doubled the recipe. Did not peel the potatoes, and used a mandolin for the 1st time after declaring all these years I would never buy one. Loved it. I use Knorr concentrated stocks which have herbs in them, but also some sodium so skipped the salt but used lots of white pepper. I did have to make it in 2 pans. Hubs and company gave it a 9.

  • So easy and so delicious. Used lemon pepper instead of salt and pepper and less butter than called for. Light & creamy without any cream or milk. Will definitely make this again.

  • It was super easy to make but a bit too salty & buttery. I would use 4tbs of butter and 1/2 tbs salt.

  • Added to the recipe box tonight. Loved it as is but added some raw cheddar on top when reheating and a sprinkle of S&P- was even better- but excellent just the way the recipe is written.

  • I have had this recipe in the back of my mind for a while but I just got around to trying it. We LOVED it. This is perfect because my husband hates really heavy cream based potato dishes. It was also so easy we will be making this all the time.

  • I made this recipe with some modifications...thanks to the many reviews! I used the hash brown potatoes that you can buy in the refrigerated section because I didn't have a potato slicer. Also - since some of the reviews noted a lack of flavor, I used McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken flavoring. And I put some parmesean cheese on the top. They were so, so good! If you use the Montreal Chicken flavoring, definitely use low sodium chicken broth.

  • Here I am again a year later, making this for a party of 30 or so. I have so much confidence this will again be a great dish, especially with prime rib. Anyway, does anyone remember the Edna Lewis story and her fruit cake recipe published, I think back in the 80's? I miss the Gourmet magazine!

  • This was a huge hit for our Canadian Thanksgiving...I am still hearing about it. I did add in fresh parmesan and some extra pepper for taste...it was Deeeelish!

  • I made the recipe exactly in accordance with the directions and thought it was delicious (as did all of my guests) and easy. It tasted like it had cream in it.
