Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
Butter Mixture:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Topping:
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- Extra fresh oregano leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or ovenproof skillet.
- Slice Potatoes: Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thinly (about 1/8-inch thick). Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.
- Coat Potatoes: Toss potato slices in the butter mixture until evenly coated.
- Layer Potatoes: Stack the slices upright in the prepared baking dish until tightly packed. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the top.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 75–90 minutes until crispy on the edges and tender in the center.
- Finish: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and garnish with fresh oregano before serving.
Notes
- This dish works best with Yukon gold or russet potatoes due to their starch content.
- To make ahead, assemble the potatoes and refrigerate before baking, then add 10–15 minutes to the cook time.
- Serve as a show-stopping side dish for roasted meats, poultry, or holiday meals.
