Dutch Potatoes

I made some Dutch potatoes, based on the recipe from our very own Gail at Snapshotsincursive at https://snapshotsincursive.com/. Thank you Gail for this delicious recipe idea. Gail is one of my blogger buddies, who at the moment is still virtual, but I know once we meet in person, we will be fast friends. Mine did not turn out as golden brown as I would have liked, ONLY because Larry was in a hurry to eat before going to the Av’s game and I had to take them out of the oven early. Had I left them in the oven longer though, they would have browned up nicely and would have been crispy on the outside and velvety on the inside. You can see they were beginning to crisp up. They just needed more time in the oven. Oh well. Life happens. All you can do is roll with it and do the best that you can. But they were still delicious. 🙂

Dutch Potatoes

I used Russet potatoes and sliced them very thin, since this is what I had at the time. Gail’s recipe called for baby potatoes. So you can use any kind of potato that works best for you, or what you have on hand at the time. I also did not have fresh oregano, but I had thyme and rosemary. So as usual, I changed things up a bit, but you are all used to that by now. 🙂

Preheat the oven to 400*F or 200*C.

Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray.

4-5 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into very thin rounds

1 stick butter, melted

1 TBSP garlic

3-4 sprigs fresh thyme

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, stemmed and chopped fine

salt & pepper to taste

1 cup shredded or shaved Parmigiano cheese

Boil the potatoes for about 12-15 minutes to soften them. Drain, then spread out in a single layer in the prepared pan.

Combine the butter, herbs, garlic and salt in pepper and mix together thoroughly. Then pour over the potatoes.

Add a generous layer of shaved or shredded Parmigiano cheese on top of the potatoes and bake for at least 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

When they are done, sprinkle a little parsley on top and serve them next to your favorite entree or main part of the meal and enjoy.

Once again, thanks to my friend Gail for the inspiration.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
