Potato Tarte Tatin with Black Olives and Lemon
- 2 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean under running water
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 cup black olives, pitted and cut in 1/2
- 1 teaspoon finely ground gray salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the potatoes crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices and place them in a large bowl.
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the rosemary and olives.
- Cook for 10 seconds.
- Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and pour the mixture over the potatoes.
- Add the salt and pepper.
- Gently stir with a spoon to evenly coat the potatoes.
- In the same 10-inch nonstick skillet, starting in the center of the skillet, arrange about 1/3 of the potatoes slices in a single layer so they form concentric circles that slightly overlap.
- Pick out about half the olives and sprinkle them and half of the lemon zest over the first layer of potatoes.
- Create a second layer of overlapping potato slices.
- Sprinkle the remaining olives and lemon zest over the second layer.
- Then create a third layer of potatoes.
- Finally, pour the oil from the bowl over the potatoes.
- Put the pan over high heat and cook until the oil sizzles and bubbles, about 1 minute.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, use a spatula to press down the top layer of potato slices.
- Continue to bake until the tip of a knife slides easily through the potatoes, about 20 minutes more.
- Remove the pan from the oven and pour off the excess oil.
- Allow the tart to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
- Run a spatula along the outer edge of the tart to release any potatoes stuck to the side of the skillet.
- Place a dinner plate larger than the skillet on top of the skillet, with the serving side facing down.
- Invert the skillet and plate to transfer the tart to the plate.
- Cut the tart into wedges.
- Serve warm.
