Crispy Domino Potatoes
A delightful side dish that combines golden, crispy textures with tender interiors, infused with garlic and butter aroma.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2.5 pounds russet potatoes Starchy and hearty, perfect for achieving that soft interior and crisp exterior.
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter Rich and creamy, imparting a luxurious flavor.
- 3 cloves garlic Grated or finely chopped, fragrant and aromatic, adding depth to the dish.
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt Enhancing the natural flavors of the potatoes.
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves Earthy and herbal, giving a beautiful aroma and taste.
- flaky sea salt For that perfect finishing touch, adding a delightful crunch.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the center.
- Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Stir in the grated garlic until it froths and becomes fragrant, about 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Trim and slice the russet potatoes into long, square blocks and then into 1/8 inch slices.
Baking
- Arrange the potato blocks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, slightly pushing them apart.
- Brush the blocks with garlic butter and season with kosher salt and thyme leaves.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until tender and crispy, then finish with flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
For a healthier version, use olive oil instead of butter. Experiment with different seasonings or top with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let the garlic infuse the butter for added flavor, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for crispiness.
