Stacked potato slices form a closed book with a sharp, melted core.
Crispy potato slices, neatly stacked like a closed book, with a thick layer of cheese as the forbidden content. The dish resembles a book spine, fitting the news about book bans: tidy outside, sharp filling inside.
Ingredients
- 800 g waxy potatoes
- 100 g mature cheese (slices)
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even slices.
- Cut the onion into thin rings.
- Mix potato slices and onion rings with olive oil, paprika powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Arrange the potato slices overlapping in a straight row, like a book spine, placing a cheese slice and some onion rings between each layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serving notes
- Serve each person a piece of the book spine so the closed book remains visible.
- Optionally, add an extra slice of cheese on top as a 'title'.
- Serve with a spicy sauce for extra kick.
