Equipment
- Mandoline slicer or sharp knife
- Small saucepan
- baking dish
- pastry brush
- oven
Ingredients
- 4 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh parsley or thyme, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and slice potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter with minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Brush the bottom of a baking dish with garlic butter. Layer potato slices in slightly overlapping rows like dominoes.

Notes
Use a mandoline for even slices and consistent cooking.
Yukon Golds offer buttery softness, Russets create crispier edges.
Brush halfway through baking for extra crisp and flavor.
Leftovers reheat best in the oven avoid microwaving.
