Roasted Domino Potatoes............

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided

3 1/2 pounds Idaho potatoes (4–6 large)

24 (about) fresh or dried bay leaves

Kosher salt and fleur de sel

Method:

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Brush a 13x9x2" baking dish or cast-iron griddle with 2 tablespoons butter. Peel potatoes and trim ends (do not rinse). Trim all 4 sides of potatoes to form a rectangle. Using a mandoline, cut potatoes crosswise into 1/8" slices, keeping slices in stacks as best you can.

Re-form slices from each potato into a stack.

Place in prepared dish, fanning apart slightly like a deck of cards.

Insert bay leaves between potato slices at even intervals. Season with salt and drizzle with remaining 4 tablespoons butter.

Bake potatoes, rotating the dish halfway through cooking, until the edges are crisp and golden and the centers are tender, about 1 hour.

Sprinkle with fleur de sel.
