Swedish potatoes dish (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
8 medium-sized potatoes.
02 -
2 tablespoons of thyme.
03 -
Olive oil.
04 -
50 grams of butter.
05 -
Espelette pepper.
06 -
Salt.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 180°C and let it heat up.
02 -
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly—don't peel them. Put a pair of chopsticks on either side of each potato and cut thin slices about 3-4 mm apart, making sure not to cut all the way through.
03 -
Place a small pat of butter on top of each potato. Sprinkle with salt, thyme, and Espelette pepper. Drizzle some olive oil over them.
04 -
Pop the dish in the oven for an hour. Baste the potatoes often with the melted juices from the pan. Serve them hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Cutting the potatoes this way adds a fun accordion-like look, which makes the dish really appealing visually.
02 -
Frequent basting during baking helps create that crisp outside texture for the potatoes.
