Pommes Anna
The Classic French Potato Dish Everyone Should Make
Pommes Anna is the classic French dish of sliced potatoes layered in a pan with butter (lots of butter), browned on the stovetop, and finished in a hot oven until crispy. It is a dish I have made countless times over my career and still LOVE to eat today.
I first started making them when I worked at the Café Mariposa in what feels like a lifetime ago in Utah. One of our hallmark side dishes was Pommes Anna, or Anna potatoes (I know, I know — complicated translation). Every night I peeled 50 pounds of potatoes and then started layering the potatoes for multiple pans of Annas.
These crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside potatoes are perfect for the upcoming holiday season. You can make them way before dinner and gently reheat them.
