Crêpes Parmentier

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Microwave the potatoes with 2 tablespoons water on high for a few minutes until tender. In a large bowl, whisk to combine all the other ingredients except the salt, pepper and butter. When the potatoes are done and still steaming, run them through a ricer or food mill into the bowl. Mix this batter well and season.

2. Step 2

   Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, skimming the froth. Turn off the heat. After giving the white solids a few minutes to settle, tilt the pan and pour the liquid butter slowly into a second saucepan, leaving the solids behind. Warm one tablespoon of this clarified butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry 3 crepes, using a tablespoon of batter for each. When the tops are nearly set, about a minute and a half, flip them and briefly fry the other side. Transfer them to a platter in a low oven. Repeat with more butter and more batter until the batter is gone.
