Tarte Tatin of Foie Gras and potatoes

Step 1

Put in a casserole pot, the potatoes covered with water, add the stock cubes, 2 tablespoons of goose fat and a bouquet garni. Half cook them only, for 10 to 12 mins. After draining, cut into regular slices and slice the foie gras.

Step 2

Grease a frying pan with a detachable handle, about 25 cm or 30 cm in diameter. Arrange a layer of potato slices, overlapping them in a ring, then add a second layer. Divide the slices of foie gras on top, pour over the remaining melted goose fat. Lightly brown the underside of the potatoes over high heat for 4 to 5 min. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to gas mark 9 (240 °).
15 minutes before serving, cover the pan with the pastry, tuck the edges inside the pan and bake. After 6 mins, press down the pastry to pack tightly the ingredients inside and continue cooking for 10 minutes.

To serve, unstick the potatoes by shaking the pan and with the help of a flexible knife. Turn the Tatin upside down on a serving dish and serve hot.
