Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter melted
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 10 medium russet potatoes peeled
  • Coarse salt
  • 1 small onion peeled and very thin sliced julienne
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional (I used them only on half the potatoes because I was gonna serve this dish to my 4 years old too)
  • a few fresh thyme sprigs
  • a couple of fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 5 tablespoons bacon cooked and diced

Equipment

Instructions

  • Mix oil and melted butter in a small dish. Set aside.
  • Brush a round baking dish with a little of the butter/oil mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F
  • Slice the potatoes as thin as possible crosswise (the thinner, the crispier).
  • Arrange potatoes in circle in the baking dish.
  • Wedge onions in between potato slices.
  • Brush more butter and oil mixture.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper flakes, peppercorns and sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes uncovered. While baking, check potatoes every 1/2 hour and brush more oil/butter mixture. Separate the slices with a knife if you need to. Depending on your oven you may need to adjust the oven temperature.
  • While potatoes are baking, brown the bacon in a skillet. Drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
  • Remove potatoes from oven.
  • Sprinkle bacon and stuff some throughout the potatoes too.
  • Lay the thyme and rosemary sprigs on top of potatoes.
  • Bake for an additional 35 minutes
  • Remove from oven.
  • Sprinkle on a little more salt.
  • Serve immediately, simple or with sour cream. Make this a main dish by serving it with a bowl of salad.
