Recipe: Potato glass

Potato glass is a bit of an old school number, but these things have a way of coming back.  The classic trick is to sandwich a herb between two slices of potato so it shows through when cooked - I prefer the glass to be clear and maybe switch it up by using fingerling potatoes or purple potatoes.  We also have the advantage these days of silicone mats so the glass comes out perfectly flat.

You will need:

potatoes
clarified butter or vegetable oil
salt

Method:

 - set the oven to 300F / 149C
 - brush a silicone mat generously with clarified butter or oil
 - slice your potatoes as thin as you can on a mandolin or slicer
 - lay the slices down on the mat
 - if you want to lay a herb down and another slice of potato, do it here
 - brush the tops of the slices of potato with more clarified butter or oil
 - lightly season the glass
 - carefully lay another silicone mat over top the potatoes
 - bake about 40 minutes in the oven
 - if the potatoes need more time, turn off the oven and crack the door, or transfer to a food warmer or dehydrator
 - transfer to paper towel to drain any exess fat
 - store in an airtight container
