- 1/2 cup sliced shallots
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme
- 2 teaspoons white truffle oil
- Potato Crisps, recipe follows
- 1/2 cup finely grated aged Asiago (about 2 ounces)
- 12 slices fresh black or white truffle, optional garnish
- Fresh arugula tossed with extra-virgin olive oil, as garnish
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 large baking potatoes, like russets (about 1 pounds), peeled and sliced on a mandolin into 1/8-inch slices
- 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper

- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Method
- In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms, shallots, salt and pepper, and saute until soft and most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, cream and thyme, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by 50 percent in volume, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the truffle oil.
- Place 2 potato crisps on each of 4 serving plates.
- Spoon 1 generous tablespoon of mushroom filling on top, topped with 1 teaspoon of grated Asiago.
- Continue layering the napoleon so that you have 3 layers of potatoes and 3 layers of mushrooms in all, ending with mushrooms on top.
- Garnish the top of each napoleon with 3 slices of truffle, and sprinkle of Asiago.
- Arrange the arugula around the outer edge of the plate and serve.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush 2 large baking sheets well with oil.
- Arrange the potato slices in 1 layer on the sheets.
- Brush with the remaining oil, and bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes, switching the sheets halfway through baking.
- Transfer with a spatula to cooling racks.
- Sprinkle with the Essence and salt, and set aside.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
- Yield: about 2/3 cup
