it’s interesting that she is calling these “pommes chef anne” as it seems to just be the classic “anna potatoes” – perhaps just a bit of wordplay on her part. the only difference i see is the addition of parmesan cheese and a bit in the cooking process; they can generally be cooked without that pesky “flip step”, it’s done by browning the bottom layer first on the stove, and then just popping the whole thing in the oven (covered) until cooked through, then removing the cover and letting the top crisp up – might save some mess, and gives less opportunity for them to fall apart. (: and yes, this recipe is so, so delicious!

The shot of the unbaked potatoes is beautiful… I love the colors! I don’t own a mandoline and am truthfully a bit scared of them, but the results are just beautiful!

I’m a huge fan of Ina Garten too but I hadn’t heard of the other two chefs you mentioned… I’ll have to take a look at them!

This looks absolutely incredible. I actually finally purchased a mandoline this weekend after finding excuses for not buying one for years. I’m saving this recipe. I bet it’s really impressive for company too!

Yum! Two of my favorite foods (potatoes and cheese) combined into a fantastic and simple dish. This is my kind of food!

Only problem is that mandolins make me really nervous ever since I took a chunk out of my pinky finger while using one years ago. Pro Tip: ALWAYS use the hand guard!

I largely agree with Tony Bourdain is that Food Network is now largely unwatchable. They’ve run off just about every good chef and replaced them with some kind of “personality” who is clearly NOT a chef.

It’s almost like watching MTV go from showing videos to the reality-based garbage it shows today.

And now they are taking one of their better shows (Iron Chef) and doing a reality show for the next Iron Chef? The whole point of Iron Chef is that the chefs are, by acclamation, amongst the best around. Not the winners of some game show.

I find myself watching Emeril Green more than any Food Network show because I actually get good ideas and ways to combine ingredients from his show….since he actually knows how to cook.
