SKILLET POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Stir in the potatoes, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. With the back of a large spoon, press the potatoes into the pan, crushing them slightly.
• Bake the potato cake until the edges are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Loosen the cake with a heatproof spatula if necessary. Cover the pan with a plate, flip over, and remove the pan.

Steps:

• Combine rice and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium saucepan. Stir saffron into 2 cups water, then stir into rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until rice has absorbed all water, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes (rice will not be completely cooked). Let cool completely. Stir in egg white, then cherries.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium. Swirl in oil, then arrange potato slices, overlapping slightly, in a circular pattern to cover bottom. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 15 minutes; remove from heat.
• Top potatoes with rice mixture, pressing down in an even layer. Make several holes in rice mixture (to allow steam to escape). Wrap a kitchen towel around lid, cover skillet, and cook over low heat until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake to loosen, then invert onto a platter, cut into wedges, and serve.
