Cook’s Tip
Even though first cut brisket is considered by many to be of higher quality, I prefer second cut, which has more marbling, yielding a juicier and softer roast.
Directions for Potato Stacks
1) Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2) In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and
pepper.
3) Use a mandolin or a sharp knife to thinly slice the potatoes. Add potato slices to oil mixture; toss to coat evenly.
4) Stack potatoes in towers of 6-8 slices on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes,
until the tops are golden brown and the centers of the potato stacks are tender.
5) Sprinkle tops with coarse sea salt before serving.
