    I was first introduced to Betsy’s potatoes at a dinner party at her house some time back. I remember thinking how incredibly good they were and have been making them ever since.

    Betsy's Potatoes

    Ingredients

    The ingredients that I used for Betsy’s Potatoes are very basic: sliced potatoes, butter, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Generally, I use Yukon gold potatoes, but Russet potatoes can be used as well.

    Ingredients for Betsy's Potatoes

    Making Betsy’s Potatoes

    To make Betsy’s Potatoes, first I peeled and sliced the potatoes. It wasn’t exact, but the slices were between ⅛ and ¼-inch thick. Then, I melted the butter in a microwave safe measuring cup, and poured the melted butter over the potatoes. Next, I added some Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, and stirred the potatoes with a wooden spoon to evenly coat.

    Adding Butter to Betsy's Potatoes

    At this point, I spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet that had been lined with non-stick aluminum foil.  I then drizzled any butter remaining in bowl evenly over the potatoes.

    Spreading Potatoes

    I popped the potatoes into a 375° F oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I removed the them from the oven, flipped each potato slice over, and returned them to the oven for another 30 minutes.

    Turning Betsy's Potatoes

    After the second 30 minutes, the potatoes were golden brown and ready to be devoured. They were amazing. Yum!

    If you’re looking for something to serve these with, they pair quite nicely with my Slow Roasted Pulled Pork.
