Ingredients
- 6cups peeled and thinly sliced baking potatoes (Idaho or russet)
- 3tablespoons canola oil
- 3tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½teaspoon salt
- ¼teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2black truffles (3 to 4 ounces), thinly shaved with a vegetable peeler or truffle slicer
Preparation
- Step 1
Wash and dry the potato slices. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet. When hot, add the potato slices, salt and pepper and toss gently until all the potatoes are coated on all sides. Increase the heat and cook the potatoes over fairly high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, until a crust begins to form underneath.
- Step 2
Add the truffle shavings and press them into the potatoes until they are imbedded inside (to protect the aroma). Dot with the remaining butter and cover with a round of parchment paper cut fo fit the skillet.
- Step 3
Press on the parchment-covered potatoes with a spatula to make the mixture compact, then transfer the skillet to a 400-degree oven. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and nicely brown on the underside.
- Step 4
Invert the truffle cake onto a large platter. You should be able to see the truffles inside. Cut into wedges and serve with the Madeira truffle sauce.

Cooking Notes
This was really very, very good. And, we did serve it with the recommended Madeira Truffle Sauce. Unfortunately, the truffles that we had obtained had virtually no truffle flavor, even though they were delivered with ice packs and used promptly. Having said that, the meal was great anyway. Clearer information for heat settings and potato thickness would have helped, but I think we got close enough with what was provided.
