I hadn't made these in a long time, but did tonight and thought of this thread. Here is my method, which is pretty similar to the suggestions here. First, russet potatoes, thin, but not too thin. Brush two silpats with clarified butter. Put the potatoes on the first, overlapping each by half. Brush the top with clarified butter, and sprinkle with salt. Place the other silpat, buttered side down, on top. Put in a 425 oven for five minutes, then remove the top silpat and cook until browned. About 15-20 minutes or so.

3/4t salt per pound of sliced potato.

Toss, let sit in a colander for a couple of minutes. Squeeze out moisture, just grab a small handful and give a squeeze. They bend but don't crack too much.

Proceed as in your recipe

The truc both seasons the potatoes and gets rid of excess moisture, helping them to brown and crisp.
