Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter and mix with olive oil, then layer the potato slices in a greased baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle the remaining butter over the top. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring frequently until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Cooking the Liver

  1. 4

    Sear the Liver

    Season the calves liver with salt and black pepper. Brush both sides with Dijon mustard. In the skillet, add a little olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Sear the liver for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preference.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Demi-Glace

    Once the liver is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Pour in the demi-glace to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

Plating

  1. 6

    On a plate, place a portion of Potato Anna. Top with the seared liver, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon strips. Drizzle with the demi-glace and serve immediately.
