Repeat with remaining potatoes to form 2 more layers. Pour 3 tablespoons clarified butter down sides of skillet to seep under potatoes. At this point, you want to weigh down the potatoes to encourage them to bind together. The first time we disregarded this step and just covered with a regular lid, and while everything worked out, it did make the pancake harder to work with. The second time, I set a piece of buttered parchment paper over the potatoes and set a regular pot lid that was the same diameter as the pancake on top and weighted it down with whatever was lying around. Reduce heat to medium or medium low. Cook until underside is golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Flip potatoes (if you went small, this is no big deal. If you went big, you may need to employ 2 spatulas or get creative with your utensils. Also, as you can see in the photo, it cooked a little unevenly, the weight helps with this as well).
