I know these look like hasselback potatoes, but they aren’t quite that. And they aren’t really scalloped potatoes either. They are just simply thinly sliced potatoes covered in goodness and baked. And they are crazy easy but look like you tried. So on Thanksgiving day, it looks like you worked your ass off when you actually just drank wine and watched anything BUT football. Winning.
Have you prepped for Thanksgiving yet?! Last year I shared 27 Thanksgiving Recipes that ranged from appetizers to side dishes to desserts, but I wanted to give you a quick run down of my favorites plus some recipes I recently made! You should totally make some of these. OR ALL!
- Twice Baked Delicata Squash
- Apple Pie Cupcakes or Apple Pie Tartlets
- Maple Dijon Roasted Carrots
- Caramelized Onion & Sausage Stuffing
- Savory Bacon Butternut Squash Souffle or Bacon and Chive Sweet Potato Biscuits
- Brownie Eggnog Pumpkin Pie or Eggnog Pumpkin Pie with Gingerbread Crust
So get this. Our friends recently got married and just went on their honeymoon to Europe. When they got to the airport, they turned them away based on something with their passport. So they had to get a cab back home, fix the issue, then leave 24 hours later. They get to Europe and start having a great time and talking to some younger kids who seem awesome and then my guy friend notices that he doesn’t have his phone or wallet. The kids pickpocketed (is that a word?) him and stole his sh*t. So he chased him the streets of Europe, ends of tripping and losing him, then he’s lost in Europe with no phone, no wallet, and no wife because he had left her behind to get this guy. They finally both get back to their hotel and by that time, the guy had already changed all of his passwords on his social media outlets, his paypal and had run up his credit cards. All they had left with them was 1 debit card with hardly any money on it. Turns out, it was a tough trip. Not exactly romantic. So my husband invited them over for dinner tonight to get the whole story and celebrate their love over food. I’m making them my Bacon Chorizo Chipotle Smothered Meatloaf, these lovely potatoes, and kale cooked with bacon and lemon! I cannot wait to hear this full story. It was the first time this guy went to Europe and he never wants to leave the USA ever again. So sad!
Anywho, I made these potatoes last week, I’m making them tonight, and then I’m making them again next week for Thanksgiving. So yeah, you could say that I’m pretty much obsessed with them! Now go make them!!
Thanksgiving Brown Butter & Herb Skillet Potatoes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
- 3 pound gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 stick of unsalted butter or 8 tablespoons of ghee
- 1 heaping tablespoon minced sage
- 1 heaping tablespoon minced rosemary
- 1 heaping tablespoon minced thyme (plus extra thyme for garnishing)
- flaked salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Thinly slice potatoes using a mandoline slicer or food processor with the slicing attachment. Arrange potatoes in any formation in a 10″ cast iron skillet.
- Place a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and once it melts, add sage, rosemary and thyme then cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until the butter has browned then remove from heat.
- Pour butter herb mixture over the potatoes, using a brush to get in the crevices of all the potatoes. Place extra thyme on top of potatoes and sprinkle with a couple hefty pinches of salt.
- Place in oven to cook for 1 hour and 15-30 minutes. Check out 1 hour and 15 minutes to see if the potatoes are completely cooked through.
- Serve immediately and eat up!

Can’t wait to make these! That sounds like a terrible honeymoon. Tell your friends to travel to Canada next time – it’s safe and we are super friendly!
Oh my goodness. Sounds like a shitty honeymoon, but at least they’re gonna get these potatoes, dude.
Look Tasty, I was thinking about doing some more of the “starchier” items to fill me up during this holiday season. I’ll still workout, but I think it will help me in the long run with my heavy lifting.
Did you make a post on stuffing? I’ll go search for it in your blog, but was curious. Thanks again!
haha did you read the post? i linked a stuffing recipe…
DOh! >_< I skipped right over it lol Caramelized Onion & Sausage Stuffing ! I think I convinced the fiance to try it. She's not a huge fan of onions tho! We'll let you know how it went. Thanks!
you can always leave those out! i have another stuffing recipe here: https://paleomg.com/paleo-thanksgiving-stuffing/
Oh your poor friends! I lived in Italy for 3 years (Army Wife) and never had anything like that happen! My friend and I were almost carjacked, but she is so bad ass she just kept saying nope, you cant have my truck, nope nope.
These potatoes look so good!!!
I’ve been patiently waiting for this recipe since you posted the picture of the potatoes! I can’t wait to make. Did you use fresh or dried herbs?
fresh
Thyme and potatoes are a magical combination – thick cut sweet potato fries tossed with some minced garlic, thyme and coconut oil is flippin good!
I have been waiting for this recipe since you teased us with the picture! Can you please relay the full story of that horrrrrible sounding honeymoon to us also!?
OMG your poor friends! That incident sorta kinda reminds me of a similar incident that happened in that movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson but not exactly. Have you seen that movie? Liam is so bad ass! And I can’t wait to make these potatoes!!!!
OMG, what a terrible story! That is why we are the most anti-social people when we travel – I don’t trust anyone!
These potatoes look amazing. I know it says serve immediately, but my mom lives 45 min away and I usually make sides at home and then bring them over. Do you think these would be ok to reheat in the oven? Also making your Brussels Sprouts and Mushroom Gratin (because it was such a hit last year – people were fighting over it lol).
i don’t trust anyone even in the US lol! you can definitely reheat them in the oven, they are just as good! just make sure you serve them warm (which is what i mean by immediately)
How long would you recommend reheating for? And at what temp? Or should you just not finish them the first time around?
i usually just reheat at 250 for 15-20 minutes or so just to help heat back through without making the edges too crispy
Oh those look yummy!! I will definitely have to make those soon!
I’m so sorry for your friends! Europe is so amazing, I hope he can give it another chance in the future!! 2 of my friends just went on their honeymoon to France and their airline lost their bags in the US and then it was finally shipped to Europe and was lost again! They are now back in the states without their bags!
hahaha you did not sell the idea with the lost luggage comment lol
