Instructions
- Peel and slice the potatoes very thin.
- Butter generously an oblong or round baking dish. Place a layer of potatoes in the buttered dish, salt and pepper, then continue adding layers. Dot the top layer with butter. Pour in enough well-flavored beef broth or consomme to come almost to the top of the dish.
