This oven baked 3-ingredients potato ring mold is the kind of dish that makes people pause when it hits the table. My mother-in-law brought it out every Easter, gleaming and golden on a white platter, and there was always a little gasp before anyone picked up a knife.

The idea traces back to classic French
My mother-in-law always made this for Easter dinner. When she set it on the table, everyone gasped at how elegant it looked.
