Sweet Potatoes Anna image

Potatoes Anna is basically a dish where you take any type of potato, slice it really thinly, then arrange the slices in a pan and bake. (It's a great holiday dish because you can rope in a family member to either be the slicer or the arranger!)

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces unsalted butter, plus more to grease the pan
2 large sweet potatoes or yams, or 3 medium
10 pitted prunes
1 cup port, Madeira, Marsala, or bourbon
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, slice the sweet potatoes on a mandoline. Soak prunes in port for 20 minutes, then drain and roughly chop. Coat a cast-iron skillet with butter, then arrange half of the potatoes in an overlapping circle until the bottom of the skillet is covered. Brush the top generously with melted butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter half of the prunes over the sweet potatoes, then repeat the whole process. Press down on the potatoes so they are compact.
  • Bake 20-30 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and nicely caramelized. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet to loosen. Place a serving plate on top of the skillet and flip over to serve.

These potatoes were delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. I used a combination of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, and they both turned out great. I also added a little bit of garlic and thyme, which gave them a deli

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't come out right.

These potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

These were delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and they turned out great. I also added a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese, which gave them a nice cheesy flavor. Wil

Not bad! The potatoes were a little too soft for my liking, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking them for a little less time next time.

This recipe was a hit! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I used a combination of butter and olive oil, and I think that really helped to give the potatoes a nice golden brown color. I also a
