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!

Roasted Potato Side Dish

Yield: 8
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Just in time for the holiday season, I'm sharing this Roasted Potato Side Dish Recipe.  A gorgeous presentation of sliced red potatoes, roasted garlic, thyme, bacon, fresh cracked salt and pepper.  This will be the star of your holiday feasts!

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs Red Potatoes
  • 5-6 Strips Soft Cooked Bacon - cut into pieces
  • 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil*
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 10 Cloves Roasted Garlic - smashed into a paste
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, additional
  • 3 Sprigs Thyme
  • Fresh Cracked Himalayan Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°
  2. Mix 5 Tb olive oil, lemon juice and roasted garlic paste in a large bowl. Thoroughly clean potatoes. Thinly slice potatoes with mandoline. (approximately 1/8 inch) Toss potatoes in olive oil mixture until evenly coated. Arrange potato slices (accordion style) in a 10 inch pie plate. Bake for 1 hour.
  3. Remove from oven. Brush 1-2 Tb olive oil over the tops of potato slices. Tuck bacon pieces and thyme between potato slices. Generously salt and pepper with the Cole & Mason Mills. Return to oven and bake 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. Potatoes should be soft in the middle and crisp on the outer edges.
  4. Serve with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

*I used some of the oil left over from roasted garlic.

    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.

    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?

    Reply
    • Nicole Harris says

      September 14, 2015 at

      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!

      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!
