For the French potato cake, aka Gâteau de Pommes de Terre, potatoes are sliced thick and boiled first. Then, potato slices are mixed with some duck fat and smashed in the skillet to be cooked for the second time as a cake with a golden brown and crispy crust. Traditionally, this French potato cake is served with nothing but chopped fresh garlic and parsley on top. So, feel free to omit fennel and smoked fish. But they are so good together!

Instructions

to boil potatoes

Step 1

Wash and peel potatoes. Slice them 1/4" thick. Place sliced potatoes in a pot and add enough cold water to cover them. Season with salt, add bay leaf and cracked peppercorns, cover with a lid, and place over high heat.

Step 2

When water starts boiling, reduce the heat, set timer for 18 minutes, and simmer potatoes until cooked.

Step 3

Discard spices and strain water. Let potatoes cool until they stop steaming. Taste one and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add duck fat and gently shake the pot. Make sure all potato slices are coated with fat.

Step 4

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare smoked whitefish. Remove the skin and bones.

Step 5

Wash and chop parsley. Peel and chop garlic. Slice onions and fennel and slowly caramelize them over medium heat. When soft and golden, add parsley and garlic to combine with onions and fennel and turn the heat off.

Step 6

To make a potato cake, you need an oven-proof skillet 5-6" D. Transfer potato slices coated with duck fat into the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form a cake.

Step 7

Place the skillet over high heat and caramelize the bottom of the cake. Preheat broil with the rack on the top level, as close to the heating elements as possible.

Step 8

When the bottom of the cake is brown and crispy, place the skillet under the broil.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a small cutting board, hold board and skillet together ﬁrmly and invert the skillet. Slide the cake from the board into the serving plate. Isn't it beautiful!?

Step 10

Top it with caramelized fennel and onions and arrange pieces of smoked whitefish on top. Serve and enjoy!
