    Why you'll love it

    • A great potato side dish
    • Perfect if you want to try something new
    • Mild flavor, perfect for kids
    • Pairs perfectly with a variety of entrees
    • Really easy to make
    • Only requires a handful ingredients

    Ingredients

    Potatoes: Floury potatoes are best for this recipe. Use potatoes that you would normally use to make french fries or roasted potatoes, like Desiree, Maris Piper or King Edward.

    Vegetable stock: Use any stock or broth. I like vegetable stock, but chicken stock or beef stock also works well, particularly if you're serving the potatoes with chicken or beef.

    Shallots: Shallots are small, mild onions. You can also use a regular onion.

    Thyme: Fresh thyme adds a lot of flavor to the potatoes. You can also substitute with other herbs like rosemary.

    Instructions

    This simple dish can be made with only a few steps.

    The key part to this recipe is to peel the potatoes, and slice them into very thin slices. You can use a sharp knife, but you might find that slicing them with a vegetable peel or food processor is much easier.

    Then, layer potatoes, shallots and thyme in a casserole dish. Pour over vegetable stock until the liquid almost reaches the top potato slices.

    Bake the boulangere potatoes in the oven at 400 F or 200 C for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Use a fork to make sure that the top potatoes are crispy, and the bottom potatoes are soft and cooked through.

    Top tips

    • If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme or any other herb that you like.
    • Make sure to slice the potatoes very thinly for a good result.
    • The exact cooking time will vary depending on how thick the potato slices are. Make sure to keep an eye on them.

    Serving suggestions

    This easy potato recipe is the perfect healthy side dish that pairs with any entree. Boulangere potatoes are particularly great for a traditional steak dinner, or a Sunday roast. Here are some of my favorite dishes to serve it with:

    • Beef: Roast Topside of Beef, Air Fryer Steak
    • Chicken: Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs, Honey Glazed Roast Chicken, Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
    • Pork: Instant Pot Pork Roast, Air Fryer Pork Roast, Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin, Instant Pot Ham

    Variations

    Cheesy boulangere potatoes: To make the dish cheesy, you can top the potatoes with shredded cheese for the last 15 or 20 minutes of the cooking time.

    Mixed vegetables: Layer the sliced potatoes with other sliced root vegetables, like beetroot, parsnips, swede, turnip, sweet potatoes or carrots. This will make the dish a lot more flavorful and colorful, and is an easy way to add more vegetables to your meal.

    Extra herbs: If you want to add more flavor, feel free to use extra herbs. A combination of multiple fresh and dried herbs like parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, dill and rosemary will taste great.

    Leftovers

    Store leftover boulangere potatoes in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    You can reheat the potatoes in a microwave or oven and serve them warm. Alternatively, repurpose them in a different dish like soups, casseroles and more.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you reheat boulangere potatoes?

    Absolutely! You can reheat the potatoes in a microwave, or in the oven at 400 F / 200 C. This dish tastes just as good the next day, so make sure to enjoy the leftovers.

    How do you slice potatoes thinly?

    You can slice potatoes thinly by using a sharp knife. However, using a food processor or vegetable peeler can make the job much easier.
