Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes

3 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Slice potatoes evenly into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.

3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

4. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in thyme and rosemary.

5. Turn off heat and begin layering the potatoes in a circular pattern, overlapping slices.

6. Season each layer with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

7. Once all potatoes are layered, cover skillet with a lid and cook on medium heat for 10–12 minutes.

8. Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast uncovered for 20–25 minutes until top is golden and edges are crispy.

9. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

10. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan.


Notes

For extra crisp, ensure the first layer of potatoes touches the hot skillet directly.

Use a mandoline for quick, uniform slices.

Resting after baking is key to neat slices and full flavor development.
