Food includes baking on the slices of potatoes that were layered in a pan with onion and then bathed in stock. After an hour or more cooking, the top layer of the potato was snowed and became sharp, while the lower layers absorbed the stock and were thick and damp. Boulangere potatoes are often served as an accompaniment of baked meat and can create a dramatic presentation when the slices of potatoes are arranged in complex samples inside the baking pan.
