Crispy Roasted Potatoes

This crispy potato side dish is a nice alternative to cheesy potato casseroles – and it looks beautiful on the table, too. Tip: The thinner the potatoes are cut, the crispier they’ll become in the oven.

 

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 pounds russet potatoes
4 shallots, thickly sliced lengthwise
Coarse salt
½ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
8 sprigs thyme

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine butter and oil. Brush bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish or cast iron skillet.
  3. With a sharp knife or mandoline, slice potatoes very thinly crosswise.
  4. Arrange potato slices vertically in the baking dish. Wedge sliced shallots throughout. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes. Add thyme sprigs and brush with remaining butter mixture.
  5. Bake for 1 ¼ hours until potatoes are fork tender and crispy on top. Sprinkle with additional thyme to serve, if desired.
