Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes:

  • 4 large russet potatoes or Yukon Gold
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

For the Cheese Mixture:

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

For the Herb Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For Garnish:

  • 3 tablespoons chives or green onions finely chopped
  • Sour cream optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
  • Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent slicing through completely.
  • Slice the potatoes crosswise into thin sections, about 1/8 inch apart.

Step 2: Prepare the Butter Mixture

  • Combine the melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

Step 3: Season and Bake

  • Place the potatoes in a baking dish.
  • Brush the butter mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring it gets between the slices.
  • Mix the fresh thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle over the potatoes.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Add Cheese and Bake Again

  • Remove the foil. The potatoes should be tender and starting to fan out.
  • Sprinkle 2/3 of the cheese mixture over the potatoes, working some between the slices.
  • Bake uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • In the last 5 minutes, top with the remaining cheese.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped chives or green onions.
  • Serve with sour cream if desired

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Try Fontina, Swiss, or Pepper Jack for different flavors.
  • Add Bacon: Crumble cooked bacon on top for a loaded version.
  • Truffle Lovers: Drizzle with a bit of truffle oil before serving for a gourmet twist.
  • Vegetarian Option: These are naturally vegetarian; just check your cheese sources for rennet-free options.
