Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes if the skin is tough, otherwise scrub and rinse them.
- Cut the potatoes into thin slices most of the way through, using a handle of a wooden spoon to prevent cutting all the way through.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes in a baking dish and fan them slightly.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and drizzle with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the chopped herbs evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, try using a mix of fresh herbs like parsley and dill along with sage, thyme, or rosemary. If you don’t have Parmesan cheese on hand, nutritional yeast is a great substitute for a similar umami flavor. Ensure the potatoes are evenly sliced for uniform cooking and consider using a mandoline for precision.
Serving Suggestions
These herbed sliced potatoes make a delightful side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. They pair beautifully with a fresh Herbed Yogurt Dressing or a light salad, such as Watercress Salad, to balance the richness. Consider serving them alongside a protein for a complete meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of cheese?
Absolutely! While Cheddar and Parmesan work well, feel free to mix in other cheeses like Gouda or Gruyère for a different flavor profile. Just be mindful of the melting properties, as some cheeses may alter the texture.
What if I want to make this dish vegan?
To make this dish vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative like olive oil or coconut oil. Use vegan cheese or simply omit the cheese for a lighter version, and enhance the herbs for added flavor.
How do I know when the potatoes are done?
The potatoes are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Depending on your oven, this typically takes about 30-40 minutes. You can also check for a nice golden color on the cheese topping for an appealing finish.
