Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, chopped thyme, and rosemary. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure all the potato slices are evenly coated with the mixture.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Lay the marinated potato slices in the dish, overlapping them slightly in rows or a spiral pattern. Scatter the capers and olives evenly over the layered potatoes.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Once fully baked, remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Provencal potato bake as a delightful side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, slice the potatoes uniformly, preferably using a mandoline slicer.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- For an added depth of flavor, consider marinating the olives and capers in the olive oil and vinegar for about 30 minutes before adding them to the dish.
- For a crispy top layer, sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes before baking.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil for the first half of the baking time, then remove it for the remaining time to allow the top to crisp up.
Your Provencal Potato Bake is now ready to serve. This dish beautifully blends the earthy flavors of potatoes with the tangy taste of capers and olives, complemented by fresh herbs. Enjoy it as an accompaniment to your favorite main course or savor it on its own for a satisfying meal.
