Set the oven rack in the middle and heat the oven to 200°C.
Melt the butter in a cast-iron or other ovenproof frying pan over a low heat. Take the pan off the heat and tip the butter into a large bowl, leaving the pan unwashed.
Combine the salt and pepper in a small bowl. Peel the potatoes and, holding them over the bowl of butter, cut them crosswise into slices about 1.5mm thick, letting the slices drop into the butter. Toss them to coat.
Lay a third of the potato slices in the pan in a single layer, arranging them in overlapping circles. Sprinkle over a third of the salt and pepper mixture, then repeat with the remaining potatoes and seasoning, making three layers in total. If any butter remains in the bowl, scrape it over the top.
Cook the potatoes over a moderate heat for 15 minutes. Press down firmly with a wide metal spatula, then cover the surface with baking parchment and cover the pan with foil.
Bake until the outer edge is golden brown and the centre is tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Leave to stand covered at room temperature for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen the edge with a heatproof flexible spatula. Place a rimmed plate upside down over the pan, and holding the plate and pan together firmly with oven gloves, invert the pan. Lift off the pan and scatter the parsley and garlic over the potato cake.
