An Idea Worth Repeating
>> Friday, 3 December 2010
Four ingredients are all that is needed to make Pommes Anna, a simple, yet elegant side dish. Potatoes, butter, salt and pepper come together and create a crisp and creamy mouthful that's sure to please all potato lovers.
The first time I made and serve this dish, I noticed that people were enviously looking at those who still had pieces of the crust on their plates - nibbling and savouring each morsel. Now I know that it is always a good idea to serve holiday meals communal style, after all, it is about being together, sharing together and eating together. However, I don't think that it will hurt if some of the dishes are made and served individually, such as these Mini Pommes Anna. This way, everyone gets their own stack of crusty and creamy potatoes.
I say that this is an idea worth repeating because I first saw these mini delights over at Bakers Royale. I thought it such a great idea, hence my repeating it here.
No cast iron pan needed for this recipe, you make these beauties right in your muffin pans! Get the recipe here. Please note that I significantly reduced the amount of salt than that stated in the recipe.

beautiful as usual.....
Your pommes anna are truly a different dish from the one I know (which is made in a casserole dish)! They look fabulous!
Cynthia what gorgeous photos. The only time I made pommes Anna was in a casserole dish and it was a soggy disaster so I never repeated it. This is a wonderful idea and I can hardly wait to try it. :)
Beautiful and yummy dear Cynthia, lovely pics! gloria
I think it is a recipe worth repeating as well Cynthia!
Delicious! Is there any other word for describing those gorgeous potatoes ?
They are delicious looking. Great picture.
Ooh! wonderful picture... the potatoes look so beautiful.
Oh my Gosh! Those photographs are to die for!! LOVE everything abt this post!
It seems too easy to be true, I shall try these mini pommes Ana, although I didn't quite get the idea from the recipe. Did I miss something?
The photos are beautiful and so pro! Love the pommes Anna and your version is a classic!
I'd be afraid to find out the calories on that but it looks pretty as a special treat. Maybe I'll try it sometimes and add a little herb.
What a flaky layered potato dish. Splendid!
Beautiful photos and recipes. My Dad loved these potatoes. Also, I love everything coconut-coconut water-coconut bake-coconut milk-ice cream--
Nice! Have a pleasant holiday shopping season.
Cynthia, the photos are absolutely gorgeous...very inviting for the eyes and taste buds :-)
I confess that when I saw the photo, I sat up and practically said out loud "Oh Yes!!" These are an absolute MUST DO! Thanks for sharing.
LOVE the idea of mini pommes anna. Your picture is fantastic Cynthia!

Happy Holidays.

They don't even look like potatoes to me! It is like some divine dessert.
They look fabulous! Maybe I will try this sometimes and for sure, I won't be able to stop from eating that one.
Excellent photography! I love your pommes anna! A real beauty!
Wow Cynthi! The closest I've gotten to this is a gratin dish lol. Oh, I loved that they were made in a muffin pan!
The mini pommes, yes!, wonderful.
I'll give them a try for the party I am attending this Sunday. I think it will be a big HIT!
All joys to you dear,

This looks so pretty! I'll definitely give this a try as we love potatoes and I'm always looking for new potato recipes. I love your photos too ^_^
I like making them this way too, but the idea of doing them in a muffin tin is great.
Shall do it that way next.
