PRESENTATION

Teglia di patate arrosto is one of those classic Italian sides that always pops, especially with those golden potato slices lined up so neatly. And here's the thing, in Italy, people like to slice the potatoes thin and stand them up vertically in the tray. Really makes it look amazing.

But, you know, the real magic? It's all in the flavor mix—roasted potatoes with a kick from chili pepper, some earthy thyme, and that mellow sweetness from shallots tucked in between. Feels fancy but pretty simple to make. Keeping the skins on? Gives it that rustic feel and saves time. I mean, who doesn’t love a crispy outside and a tender inside? For real. This Italian take on oven-roasted potatoes is perfect for any season.

What really sets it apart is the blend of moist and crispy textures, which, honestly, isn't easy to nail with crispy roasted potatoes. Italian cooks often use local potatoes—super tasty—but any good roasting ones will do the trick. The herby edge from thyme just lifts the roasted potatoes, while the shallots melt down into everything.

This side pairs effortlessly with grilled fish or roasted chicken. No question, it works great for a big Sunday lunch or a busy weeknight dinner. Some regions even add garlic for that garlic roasted potatoes vibe. Either way, you’re getting a dish that's crisp around the edges, a bit soft in the middle, and packed with homey taste.

Honestly, it's one of those simple potato recipes that really really gives you great flavor without all the fuss, making it a go-to in many Italian kitchens. And with its beautiful presentation and rich taste, it's no wonder this dish remains a favorite, whether you're in Italy or, you know, anywhere else craving a taste of Italian cooking.

How to prepare Baking pan of roasted potatoes

To prepare the baking dish of roasted potatoes, start by peeling the potatoes 1, then rinse them under running water and dry them thoroughly. Mix the oil with the melted butter in a small bowl and use this mixture to grease an ovenproof dish 2 (we used a rectangular one measuring 8x10 inches). At this point, use a sharp knife or a mandoline to cut the potatoes into slices about 1/16 inch thick 3.

Place the slices vertically in a row in the baking dish 4 (take ten at a time so that they will stand upright), forming 3 rows of potatoes inside it 5. Cut the shallots into slices and place them in the empty spaces between the potatoes 6,

chop a red chili pepper without seeds and sprinkle it over the baking dish 7. Finally, brush the potatoes with the previously prepared butter and oil mixture 8. Bake at 392°F for about 60 minutes, then remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle thyme leaves over the potatoes 9 and salt them. Put the dish back in the oven for another 15/20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked and quite crispy on the surface!

Storage

We recommend eating the roasted potatoes as soon as they are ready, but if you prefer, you can store them for a couple of days at most in the fridge, sealed airtight.

Tip

This dish, believe me, is a royal side! It is suitable for accompanying meat and fish dishes during winter or for being served during an outdoor summer lunch: guess what will be the main attraction...
