    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    What makes this recipe stand out even further is the addition of herbs de province. This wonderful combination of herbs such as rosemary, oregano, and thyme further compliments this tasty potato recipe! Bake in a small cast iron skillet or square casserole dish!

    Baked potatoes and baked beans seem to go together well (like PBandJ!).  If you are needing two side dishes for your meal, consider making my Baked Beans with Bacon and Ground Beef recipe.  They both are baked in the oven at the same temperature in about the same amount of time.  Easy peasy!

    Sausage is a great main entree to serve with potatoes.  Try my easy Brats in the Oven recipe.  Delicious and super easy!

    Why This Recipe Works 

    Cast Iron Skillet Potato Slices is so easy, and you probably already have the ingredients on hand. While roasted potatoes are very popular now, this recipe is a classic.

    Slicing the potatoes and baking them in the oven, covered with foil, is an old time favorite method that will never go out of style. This is the way I remember eating potatoes as a kid.

    Potatoes can be served with just about anything. A perfect side dish for pork chops, baked chicken, or meatloaf! Try them with my Reverse Seared New York Strip!

    Best Seasoning for these Potatoes

    This recipe calls for Herbes de Provence. It's a mixture of dried herbs and most often contains rosemary, oregano, thyme, savory, and marjoram. It adds a delicious flavor to all types of meats and vegetables. Herbes de Provence also adds a delicious aroma to your home during baking!

    According to Culinarylore.com, Julia Child brought the term herbes de provence to the American vocabulary. Read their article What is Herbes de Provence here.

    Ingredients

    please scroll down to the recipe card for ingredient details

    ingredients measured out in individual bowls
    • Russett (Baking) Potatoes - I prefer the large baking potatoes but you can use red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, or simply your favorite
    • Butter - makes the potatoes creamy and flavorful
    • Herbes de Provence - for the flavor blast!  Use dried Italian Seasoning if that's all you have
    • Shredded Parmesan Cheese - you may use grated parmesan cheese as well
    • Salt and Pepper - for added flavor, just use your personal, favorite amount of seasonings

    Equipment Needed

    • Small cast-iron skillet or 8" x 11" casserole dish
    • Mandolin (preferred) or sharp kitchen knife
    • Measuring spoons

    How to Make Cast Iron Skillet Potato Slices

    The simplicity of this recipe is the beauty of this recipe! Roasted parmesan potatoes with butter and herbs is super easy to make!

    sliced potatoes layered in a cast iron skillet

    (1) Evenly slice the potatoes and place them in a small cast iron skillet or casserole dish that has been brushed with ½ teaspoon olive oil.

    (2) Pour melted butter on top. Sprinkle herbs, salt, and pepper on top.

    (3) Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Cover with foil, and bake at 400F for about 40 minutes.  That's it!

    Recipe Tips

    • Use a mandolin, like this one by OXO, to slice the potatoes evenly. I like using a mandolin because it's faster and safer than using a kitchen knife.
    • You can easily double or triple this recipe for a larger crowd.
    • You can peel the potatoes first or leave the skin on if you prefer.
    • Add a teaspoon of fresh, minced garlic before baking!
    • Everybody loves bacon so why not sprinkle some cooked and crumbled bacon on top? I wouldn't turn that down!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What can I substitute for herbs de provence?

    You could substitute with dried Italian seasoning if you can't find herbs de provence. It's not exactly the same thing but it's fairly close.

    Which potatoes are best for baking?

    This recipe calls for russet potatoes because they're low in moisture which makes them light, fluffy, and oh so creamy!

    How do you store leftovers?

    Store any leftover baked potatoes in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I prefer to use BPA-free glass containers with locking lids. Check out these 18-piece set of glass food storage containers with locking lids from Bayco, available now on Amazon.

    Equipment

    • Mandolin or sharp kitchen knife
    • Small cast-iron skillet or 8" x 11" casserole dish
    • measuring spoons

    Ingredients

    • 2 Large Russet baking potatoes

    • ½-1 Stick of butter
    • 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
    • 4 tablespoons Shredded parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400F. Peel the potatoes, if desired. Thinly slice and place into a small cast iron skillet or 8" x 8" square casserole dish that has been coated with the olive oil. I like to "fan" the slices, like you would a deck of cards. Save time and use a mandolin to slice the potatoes, if you have one.
    • Melt the butter in the microwave. Then drizzle the melted butter over the sliced potatoes.
    • Sprinkle the Herbes de Provence over the potatoes. Add salt and pepper. Then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese on top. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
    • Remove the potatoes from the oven and remove the foil. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. 
    • Remove from oven and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Use a mandolin to slice the potatoes evenly. I like using a mandolin because it's faster and safer than using a kitchen knife. 
    • You can peel the potatoes first or leave the skin on if you prefer. 
    • Add a teaspoon of fresh, minced garlic before baking!
    • Everybody loves bacon so why not sprinkle some cooked and crumbled bacon on top?  I wouldn't turn that down!

      Found this recipe on a whim and so glad I did!! I needed a side dish, felt like making something new AND wanted to use potatoes that were left over from the holidays. This recipe checked off all the boxes with the added bonus of being delicious and very easy. This will definitely go on the regular “rotation “. Thanks for sharing.

      I love how the potatoes are lined up in the baking dish. Very appealing. You are right, Herbes de Provence is indeed a flavor booster. And talk about a simple list of ingredients. Amazing.
