SARLAT POTATOES - POMMES DE TERRE SARLADAISES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. Rinse them and dry them. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Heat the goose fat in a large, heavy pot over a medium-high heat. When it is good and hot, put the potatoes in and cover them. Lower the heat to low, and let them cook 1/2 hour.
• Skin the garlic, and chop them in a food processor or by hand. Chop the parsley.
• When the potatoes have cooked 1/2 hour, turn them gently with a long handled spoon so the crispy bottom bit moves towards the top. Add more goose fat if it is necessary.
• Add the chopped garlic, add the salt and pepper, cut the cèpes in half and add them to the pot, cover and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Finish cooking by turning the heat to high to brown the potatoes once again. Add the parsley. Turn them again with a spoon. Turn onto a platter and serve.
• This goes well with roasts, duck of any kind, chicken, omelettes, or just anything, really!
