4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds potatoes scrubbed and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons butter cubed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven.

  1. Set the oven to 425˚F. Lightly coat the bottom of a 12-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil. Scatter half of the minced garlic evenly over the surface.

Arrange the potatoes.

  1. Place the potato slices in a spiral pattern inside the skillet. Sprinkle with the remaining garlic, season with salt and pepper, and evenly distribute the cubes of butter across the top.

Bake covered.

  1. Cover the skillet with its lid or aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the potatoes to soften.

Bake uncovered.

  1. Remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and edges are golden.

Add cheese and broil.

  1. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Place under the broiler for 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned.

Cool and serve.

  1. Allow the skillet to cool for approximately 5 minutes before serving.
