Reply to comment by CakeDaySenderella in [homemade] potato terrine by emibalestr

Alright this will be a long set of instructions but stay with me here:

  1. ⁠Peel and slice 2 large russet potatoes super thin (like thinnest setting)
  2. ⁠As you’re slicing, place slices in a bowl filled with heavy cream, salt, white pepper, spices of your choice
  3. ⁠Make sure to mix potatoes with cream mixture as you keep adding slices
  4. ⁠Grab a loaf tin and line it with parchment paper. Lightly grease with melted butter
  5. ⁠Layer thinly sliced potatoes into the loaf pan one by one, stack them to create a layers until the pan is full
  6. ⁠Cover the top potato layer with parchment paper and press down on it with another loaf pan
  7. ⁠Remove the top loaf pan and bake at 320f for 1.5 hours
  8. ⁠Remove from oven, and place the loaf pan on top of the potatoes again. Place something heavy (like some cans or something) on the top loaf pan and refrigerate overnight
  9. ⁠Take out from fridge and potatoes should be significantly compressed
  10. ⁠Take the potato brick out of the pan, slice, and fry!

I was going to make this until I saw how long it goes in the oven. It’s summer and humid where I am!

It should be fine!! I wouldn’t say it’s extremely temp sensitive

More it’s hot enough in the house without the oven being on for hours

Vegetable or Canola oil? Would a brush with oil and a few minutes in the air fryer yield good results?

I used vegetable oil but canola should be good too! Personally, I would pan fry rather than air fry. The direct contact with the hot pan is pretty necessary for the crisp. I would however reheat using the air fryer if you have extra!

Interested to try this method with the cream mixture, when I made it last I just brushed every other layer with butter and added salt and pepper.

I tried the brushing, but it was hard since everything was already wet if that makes any sense. I found it to be super easy just with the soak!

What are you using to slice these? A food processor?

Mandolin slicer!

My mandolin doesn’t slice thin enough for this. I might try it with thicker slices to see if I can get it close.
