Print Recipe

A simple yet impressive side dish featuring russet potatoes sliced thinly and roasted with garlic butter and parmesan for crispy edges and tender centers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 6–7 oz / 170–200 g each)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent slicing all the way through. Using a sharp knife, make thin, evenly spaced slices about ⅛ inch (3 mm) apart, stopping when the knife hits the chopsticks.
  3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  4. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and gently fan the slices open slightly. Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over and between the slices.
  5. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes, letting some fall between the slices.
  6. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes. Halfway through (about 20 minutes in), brush with more garlic butter and sprinkle a little extra parmesan if desired. Potatoes are done when edges are crisp and golden and centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Use chopsticks or wooden spoons as slicing guards to avoid cutting all the way through the potatoes. If potatoes brown too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let potatoes rest 5 minutes after baking to keep centers fluffy. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and parmesan with vegan cheese alternative.
