Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with the melted butter mixture, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in an overlapping, shingled pattern in the prepared baking dish or skillet. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
