Ingredients

How to make it

  • Melt butter over medium heat. Add thyme, pepper and salt. Stir and cook for 15 seconds.
  • Add in flour. Cook for 1-3 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Whisk in half and half, stirring constantly and bring to a boil. Add cheeses and stir until melted. Butter a rectangular baking. Place one layer of potatoes down, slightly over lapping each other, as you would making scalloped potatoes See Photo. Remove sauce from the heat and ladle a bit at time evenly over the sliced potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce, ending with a potato layer. Bake for 25 minutes uncovered then cover and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. See Photo
  • To serve, cut into desired shapes, top with smoked salmon, sevruga caviar, and garnish with dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.

    Another pretty appetizer I like the sound of using potato in place of the pastry.

    Yes, typically it is a pastry made of thin layers of puff pastry, whipped cream with a sweet pastry cream/fruit filling. "Mille-feuille" translated from french means "a thousand leaves" or "a thousand sheets". What I do with the thin slices potatoes in this recipe is use the mille-feuille approach by layering the potatoes and sauce, much as you would layer the pastry and the pastry cream :-)
