3. Place potato slices in skillet. Create a spiral effect on the potatoes by overlapping them. Add another layer of potatoes on top of the first layer. You don’t need to do it in a spiral pattern. Make sure to season potatoes with salt and pepper. Blot butter on the potatoes. Continue adding layers of potatoes on the skillet. Make sure to season them and blot butter on every layer, just until the skillet is full.
