1 kg  potatoes 
1 tsp  fresh rosemary 
.75 tsp  salt 
.5 tsp  ground black pepper 
2 Tbs  butter 
2 Tbs  extra-virgin olive oil 
1 rosemary sprig for garnish 
 
1Prep: Peel potatoes and cut into paper-thin slices. Finely chop rosemary.
2In cup, mix chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. In another cup, mix butter and oil. Lightly brush bottom and side of baking dish with some oil mixture.
3Beginning at outside edge of dish, arrange 1 layer of potatoes in concentric circles, slightly overlapping slices, to cover bottom of dish. Sprinkle with some rosemary mixture; drizzle with some oil mixture. Continue layering potatoes in concentric circles to make 2 more layers, sprinkling each layer with some rosemary mixture and drizzling with some oil mixture.
4Lightly grease sheet of foil with remaining oil mixture; place foil, greased side down, on top of potatoes. Place another heavy oven-proof dish or lid on top of potatoes to weight them down. Cook 5 minutes over medium-high heat until underside is lightly browned. Cool and freeze.
5Defrost well before placing in a preheated 220°C oven and bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.
6To serve, place large platter upside down over dish; grasping them firmly together, carefully invert potatoes onto platter. Alternatively - serve directly in baking dish. Garnish with rosemary sprig.
