List of 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 pepper
4-6 fresh thyme sprigs
About 3 ounces cooked bacon, cubed
Recipe
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. 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 bacon in a small pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Set aside.
Remove potatoes from oven.
Add bacon 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.
