Ingredients
For 8 Serving(s)
crispy-potato-roast
- 3 T butter
- 3 T olive oil
- coarse salt
- 1/2 t black pepper
- 4 lb russet potatoes
- 4 shallots
- 8 fresh thyme sprigs
Crispy Potato Roast Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 ͒ F.
- Combine the melted butter and olive oil together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the potatoes (crosswise) very thinly. Figure out which baking dish you’re going to use (see note below), and spread about a tablespoon of the butter and oil mixture over the bottom of it. Sprinkle with a generous pinch or two of salt and the black pepper. Arrange the potato slices vertically in the dish, like dominoes.
- Very thinly slice the shallots, and nestle them in between the potatoes, distributing them evenly throughout the dish. Sprinkle with more salt. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes, then place the thyme sprigs on top, and bake an additional 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and are crispy on top. Cover with foil if they are browning too quickly. Serve immediately.
