Crispy Potato Roast

 http://www.joyouslydomestic.com/2012/12/crispy-potato-roast.html

 


I about died when I saw a version of this recipe on Martha Stewart's website.  I am a huge potato fanatic and these just looked stunning!  I altered a couple of things in her recipe, but followed her technique and concept.

I used some pancetta in my version.  Bacon may work fine, too.

The key to this recipe is getting the potato slices as thin as you can, so prepping the potatoes takes a little time.  Also, patience is a must as this dish bakes for about two hours total. (It's totally worth it - trust me!)


This is a dish that is super impressive-looking and would really wow at a dinner party!

For nutritional value information, you can visit my post of this recipe on My Recipe Magic.  Click on the "Nutrition" tab at the top of the post there.



Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 - 12 russet potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt
1 small onion or 4 shallots, peeled and sliced very thin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 - 6 fresh thyme sprigs
About 3 ounces pancetta, cubed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the oil and melted butter in a small dish. Set aside.

Brush a round baking dish (around 9 - 10 inches) with a little of the butter and oil mixture.

Slice the potatoes as thin as possible crosswise.  Arrange potatoes vertically in the baking dish.  Wedge onion or shallot slices throughout potato slices - in about 3 or 4 sections of each potato.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper flakes (use some black pepper if not using red pepper flakes).  Brush with the remaining butter and oil mixture.



Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes uncovered.  If you find at anytime throughout baking that the potatoes are too dry, a little of the olive oil/butter from the bottom of the baking dish can be brushed on the slices.  Also, a butter knife can be used to separate some of the slices if there are some sticking together too much.

While potatoes are baking, brown the pancetta in a small pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Set aside.



Remove potatoes from oven.


Add pancetta by scattering around throughout the potatoes.  Lay the thyme sprigs on top of potatoes. 


Bake for an additional 35 minutes.  Remove from oven.

Sprinkle on a little more kosher salt.  Serve immediately.  Sour cream is a great accompaniment to the potatoes.
