Sliced Roasted Potatoes
This is one of those dishes that looks fancy but is really quite simple to make. No need to peel eleventy-million potatoes. I can’t be the only child that was forced to peel an entire sack of potatoes every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sheesh, enough with the KP duty! Nobody needs that many mashed potatoes.
This potato side dish recipe does require a mandoline, unless you have some impressive knife skills. Everything else is simple and classic. Uncomplicated flavors and superior seasoning.
The Cole & Mason Derwent Salt Mill features a ceramic mechanism that ensures precise grinding. It has three grind adjustments. The smallest setting produces a salt powder. Powder!
The best part is that you choose what type of salt to use. I love my Pink Himalayan Salt! Good quality salt really does make a huge difference in flavor.
The Cole & Mason Derwent Pepper Mill features a hardened carbon steel professional mechanism with six grind adjustments.
Both mills come with a lifetime mechanism guarantee.
Surprise someone you love this holiday season with an elegant Salt and Pepper Mill Set. It is a gift that will be used for years to come.
Or hey, get it for yourself. You deserve the best too, right?
Then be sure to make this Roasted Potato Side Dish Recipe. Your holiday meal just got a little fancier!

Thanks Sommer!
Oh my gosh, this is one gorgeous side dish! It looks so impressive, but it’s clearly simple to make. And I completely agree – the right salt makes every dish better.
Thanks Amber! I do love my himalayan salt.
What an awesome side dish! I have such a weakness for potatoes. Love the salt and pepper mills, too! I think they would make a great gift. (to me!)
Thanks Jen! I think you DO deserve a gift, lol 🙂
Ok this is making me hungry for potatoes at 7am!! And I have a pepper grinder, but I don’t grind my salt. I think I need this set so that I can start!!
Hehe, potatoes are a perfectly acceptable breakfast. And these Cole&Mason Mills are amazing!!!
Everyone should have a good salt and pepper mill. And these potatoes in their life. Pinned!
Foodie Bucket List. I Agree!
This is such a beautiful potato dish. It is both eye appealing and delicious!! Perfect for the holiday. Catherine
Thanks Catherine! I love pretty food … especially when it tastes this good!
This is stunning. Adding to my Thanksgiving menu right now!
Thank you, Rachel! This is perfect for a Thanksgiving side dish.
Seriously beautiful dish, salt and pepper grinders! I love a crispy potato dish like this. And nothing beats fresh ground pepper.
Thanks Fabiola!

Thanks Liz!
These potatoes are going on my must-try list!
I hope you enjoy! 🙂
This potato dish is gorgeous and so are those salt and pepper Mills! I LOVE my Cole + Mason Pepper Mill.
Thanks! And I love my mills too!
My family would love these potatoes, and I’d love those salt and pepper mills.
This is a crowd pleasing dish!
Those potatoes almost look too pretty to eat…almost.
GORGEOUS!
Looks great, but did I miss something? Is there a recipe?
Hi Kat! Yes, you can find the recipe towards the bottom of the post 🙂
These look delicious! And I’m Canadian, so have already had Thanksgiving – so I’m going to make it for – um – Movember?
Perfect! I was looking for something to bring to a friend’s diner last minute. Although do you think sweet potatoes would work just as well?
Yummy!
Hi Kati! I haven’t tried this with sweet potatoes. But, I’m sure it will work just fine. Keep a close eye on it as the cooking time may vary a bit with sweet potatoes.
These look fantastic! I featured these in a round-up post today. I hope that’s OK!
Thanks Chelsey! Happy Thanksgiving!
Made this the other night and it was a hit! I used Alderwood smoked salt on mine. The top parts of the potatoes turned out a little tough and more leathery than crisp. Has that happened to you? If so, how did you fix it?
Glad you like it, Jace! I haven’t had the tough potato issue. Maybe slicing the potatoes a bit thinner would help with that. Have a great day!
These look amazing! Is it possible to make them ahead of time?
Thanks Janie! I have never tried making this ahead of time. Maybe if you par-bake it before then just finish it off the day you need it. But I can’t say for sure.
This looks great. Do you par boil the potatoes before slicing ?
Nope. Just thinly slice the potatoes raw. Enjoy!
