Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.5 lb russet potatoes Starchy quality for a fluffy interior.
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter Adds richness and buttery flavor.
  • 3 cloves garlic Grated or finely chopped for aromatic taste.
  • 1.5 tsp kosher salt Essential for flavoring.
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves Herbaceous note that complements potatoes.
  • to taste flaky sea salt For finishing before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and add the grated garlic, cooking until frothy and fragrant, about 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Trim the ends of the russet potatoes and shape them into a long square block, slicing them crosswise into 1/8" thick slices.
  4. Carefully gather the potato slices back into a block shape, pressing them tightly together.
  5. Transfer the packed potato blocks to a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them in rows and gently pressing down on them.
  6. Brush the potato blocks with the melted garlic butter (avoid the garlic pieces), then season with kosher salt and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are tender inside and crispy on top.
  2. Once baked, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure potato slices are uniform in thickness. You can use a mandoline slicer for precision. Consider variations with roasted garlic, or different herbs like rosemary or parsley for a unique flavor.
