Peel the potatoes. We'll need a grater for thin slicing. For smooth forms suggest to give the potatoes a rectangular shape, I didn't do it, there is no sense in such a number of scraps, the little pieces I threw, all the rest fit perfectly into shape!

Grate the potatoes into long, very thin, like homemade chips.

Grated potatoes to drop directly into the cream. You can grate the potatoes in a bowl with cream. But I was uncomfortable, (all however, will depend on floats), I was rubbing and immediately put the grated potatoes into the cream, that he did not have time to oxidize and is not dark.

Next, we need such forms, I have a small size 10x20 cm, you Can use more, but then at the end of the bar you will need to cut in half lengthwise. Cover the form with parchment, so then to cover our uniforms, and grease well with oil.

Begin to lay out the potatoes. Slightly overlapped. Each layer sprinkle with salt and optional pepper, I was peppering every third layer. (Actually, the recipe suggest to season with salt and pepper cream and then layers. But I found it more convenient to salt and pepper the layers as much as needed.) And on each layer you should put a piece of butter room temperature! Immediately make the amendment. In the photo is just a slice, I really didn't like it, as it is not very convenient! I took a stick of butter from the freezer and cut on the same grater. It is thin, convenient and fast + no need to press the layers!

Cover with a tight hanging ends of the paper and send in a preheated to 170*With the oven

Bake 1 hour 30 - 50 minutes depending on shape. To check the readiness of wooden stick.

Remove shapes from oven and let cool about 15 minutes, at this time you need to prepare here are the caps. I have it clipped with plastic, wrapped in foil.

Then cover with our lids and put the cargo. So keep it to cool down. Remove the goods and put into the freezer for at least 6 hours.

Before serving. Form to get, let stand for approximately 5-10 minutes. Then remove the potato bar, remove the paper and a very sharp knife to first trim the edges to give a smooth shape, and then cut into pieces approximately 1.5 cm.

At this time in frying pan, pour vegetable oil, add a crushed clove of unpeeled garlic and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Heat oil, giving it a garlic and thyme flavor. Put on a well heated pan gently our wedges and fry until a beautiful Golden brown on both sides! Very carefully turning!

Spread in the prepared dish, sprinkle with fresh herbs or green onions. In the recipe suggest the hot potato to decorate, in addition to herbs, another knob of butter, but its so very quite - this is my opinion! But everyone has their own taste! Potatoes are incredibly soft, creamy, beautiful shape and colors! The recipe is definitely not for every day! But for the holiday fits very good! Happy holidays everyone! And St. Nicholas Day!
