Carbs Galore: Roast Mandoline Potatoes!

Let's Cook My Way @ Urdaneta Village

Mandoline -  "is a cooking utensil used for slicing and for cutting..." Wiki

There are many popular potato preps: french fries, mash potatoes, potato salad, hashbrown, etc. Why don't include roast potatoes to the list? Admittedly, preparing it demands a little more time and patience. But I tell you that it's worth all the hard work. 

So, let's learn from the expert with the time and all the patience. Let's start. 

After slicing one kilo of potatoes using the Mandoline, Tita Nelia (Let's Cook My Way!) arranged the pieces in a baking dish and seasoned it with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. 

Next, between thin slices of potatoes, Tita Nelia added shallots and garlic and drizzled the combined mixture of olive oil and butter (not margarine, take note!) before baking it at 375. Lastly, she topped the browned potatoes with Thyme sprigs.  Perfect with chicken!   

This is what we want:

 Uniform thickness of potatoes

We "insert" thinly-sliced

shallots and garlic between the potatoes

Baking the potatoes in the oven at 375F
