Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 baking dish.

Slice the potatoes about as thin as you can. This is best done with a very sharp knife. As you're slicing, do your best to keep the potato together so that it can be arranged in the tray properly. Once sliced, neatly arrange the potatoes in the dish. You can split a couple of the potatoes up to best fit snug in the dish.

Wedge the onion slices in between slices of the potatoes and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary.

In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the olive oil, salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Brush ~1/3 of the butter mixture over top of the potatoes. Set the rest aside.

Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with another 1/3 of the butter mixture and bake for an additional 45 minutes, uncovered. Watch it the last 15 minutes to make sure it isn't burning.

Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining butter mixture and top with parsley/ chives and bacon bits. ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Parboil for Perfect Crispiness 🥔
Parboil potatoes for 8-10 minutes before layering to ensure they cook through evenly while the edges get beautifully crispy in the oven.
Render Bacon Fat for Maximum Flavor 🥓
Cook bacon separately until crispy, then use the rendered fat to brush between potato layers for deep, smoky flavor throughout the entire dish.
Slice Potatoes Uniformly Thin ✂️
Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice potatoes to consistent 1/8-inch thickness so they cook at the same rate and achieve uniform crispiness.
Layer Strategically with Seasoning 🧅
Season each potato layer individually with salt, pepper, and herbs rather than just the top—this distributes flavor evenly and prevents bland interior layers.
Finish with Fresh Herbs After Baking 🌿
Add fresh parsley or chives immediately after removing from the oven to preserve their vibrant color and bright taste that gets lost during long baking.
