Sweet Potatoes Anna image

Potatoes Anna is basically a dish where you take any type of potato, slice it really thinly, then arrange the slices in a pan and bake. (It's a great holiday dish because you can rope in a family member to either be the slicer or the arranger!)

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces unsalted butter, plus more to grease the pan
2 large sweet potatoes or yams, or 3 medium
10 pitted prunes
1 cup port, Madeira, Marsala, or bourbon
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, slice the sweet potatoes on a mandoline. Soak prunes in port for 20 minutes, then drain and roughly chop. Coat a cast-iron skillet with butter, then arrange half of the potatoes in an overlapping circle until the bottom of the skillet is covered. Brush the top generously with melted butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter half of the prunes over the sweet potatoes, then repeat the whole process. Press down on the potatoes so they are compact.
  • Bake 20-30 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and nicely caramelized. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet to loosen. Place a serving plate on top of the skillet and flip over to serve.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sweet potato Anna cakes turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

The potatoes were a bit undercooked for my taste, but the caramelized onions were delicious.

These sweet potato Anna cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the caramelized onions added a nice sweetness.
