Recipe from Scarecrow restaurant, Auckland

Boulanger

1.2 kg brown onions
320 gms confit garlic
10 gms smoked paprika
5 gms dried herbs
5 gms cumin seed
3.3 kg agria potatos
350 mls water

Find two roasting trays that fit inside each other. Finely slice onions, cook with garlic, herbs and spices until very soft. 

Peel potato. Line double gastro with baking paper.

Slice potatos on mandolin approximately 3mm thick. Layer potato in double gastro in rows ensuring all edges overlap by about a centimeter. Season each layer with salt and pepper. 

Add a small amount of the onion mixture to each layer. Each new layer of potato should reverse direction, (e.g first layer lengthways, second layer crossways). Repeat for around 6 to 7 layers. 

Gently pour in water into one corner and allow to settle.  Cover with baking paper and a double layer of foil. Bake at 200 degrees for one hour. Drop temp to 170 degrees and cook for a further 90 minutes.

Once cooked remove foil and replace baking paper with new sheet. Place second gastro on top with approximately 10 kg of weight on top. Rest over night in fridge. Turn out and cut into 15 portions.
