Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them very thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, using a mandoline or a sharp knife.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Mix in the olive oil and set aside.

Step 4

Take an 8-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably non-stick or cast iron) and brush the bottom with a thin layer of the butter and olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Layer the potato slices in a circular, overlapping pattern, starting from the center and spiraling outward to the edge of the pan. Season each layer lightly with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of thyme leaves while brushing with the butter and olive oil mixture.

Step 6

Repeat layering the potato slices until you run out of potatoes, ensuring each layer remains evenly seasoned and brushed with the butter mixture.

Step 7

Gently press down on the potatoes with your hands or the back of a spatula to compress the layers.

Step 8

Place the skillet on medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the bottom layer of potatoes to become golden and begin to crisp.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Run a spatula around the edges of the skillet to loosen the potatoes, then invert the pommes onto a serving platter. If flipping is difficult, you can serve directly from the skillet.

Step 12

Cut into wedges and serve immediately as a delicious, crispy potato side.
