Accordion Roasted Gluten-Free Potatoes with Garlic & Herbs

By MaryEllen

his recipe is delicious with Standing Rib Roast. Thin potato slices absorb the flavorful thyme-garlic butter. Don’t worry if you cut all the way through the potatoes by accident. Just slather them with herb butter and reposition the slices, holding them together with a toothpick if necessary. As the potatoes bake, the butter browns, developing a deep, nutty flavor. Use potatoes that are similar in shape and size for uniform appearance and cooking time and a pretty presentation.

Ingredients

• 4 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place rack in lower third of oven.

2. Place butter, oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until butter has melted and salt has dissolved, about 8 minutes. Turn off heat.

3. Set potatoes on a cutting board and make crosswise cuts about 1/8- to ¼-inch apart, leaving at least 1/2 inch of the potato’s base intact.

4. Place potatoes cut-side up in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Evenly drizzle butter mixture over tops of the potatoes. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.

5. Place in preheated oven and bake 40 minutes. Increase heat to 400°F. Uncover potatoes and continue baking another 20 minutes. Remove from oven and baste with butter from the bottom of the dish. Return to oven and bake until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes more.

6. Sprinkle with parsley and arrange on the platter with the roast or serve directly from the baking dish.
