Melting cheesy potatoes are a comforting and flavorful side dish that perfectly pairs with your favorite main course. This recipe combines tender potatoes with rich, gooey cheese and fragrant thyme to create a dish that's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices, about 1-inch thick.
- Place the potato slices into a large bowl and set aside.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour the garlic butter over the potato slices in the bowl.
- Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the potatoes, and toss everything together so that the potatoes are evenly coated with the butter and thyme.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in a baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spread out.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, carefully remove the dish from the oven and flip each potato slice over.
- Pour the chicken gravy evenly over the flipped potato slices.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Place the dish back in the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the melting cheesy potatoes hot, garnished with extra fresh thyme if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for the best texture. They become tender and absorb the flavors well.
- Garlic Prep: Finely mince the garlic cloves to ensure they distribute evenly and infuse the dish with their aromatic flavor.
- Butter Management: Melt the butter before combining it with the other ingredients to ensure it coats the potatoes evenly.
- Thyme Matters: Use fresh thyme if possible for a more robust flavor, but dried thyme can be used if that's what you have on hand.
- Cheese Quality: Grate the parmesan cheese yourself from a block for a fresher taste and better melting consistency.
- Cooking Method: Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45-50 minutes until they are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Your melting cheesy potatoes are now ready to serve! Enjoy these creamy, cheesy potatoes as a delicious side dish that's guaranteed to become a family favorite. Whether you're planning a holiday feast or just a cozy dinner at home, this recipe is a wonderful addition to any meal.
