Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Salt and black pepper
2 cups long-grain rice, like Basmati
4 to 6 tablespoons butter
1 pound russet or other all-purpose potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it; add rice and cook, adjusting heat to maintain a steady boil. Stir occasionally. When rice is nearly done, about 10 minutes later, drain it.
  • While rice cooks, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a wide skillet or casserole, preferably nonstick. Arrange potatoes in butter. Pour cooked rice over potatoes; turn heat to very low. Add 2 tablespoons butter and cover. Cook over lowest possible heat, undisturbed, for at least 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are crisp (use a spatula to peek). Keep the dish on minimum heat for another half hour, or turn off heat and reheat over medium-low heat for 15 minutes before serving. During last few minutes of cooking, add black pepper and, if you like, 2 more tablespoons of butter.
  • Cut potato-rice cake into pieces and serve.
