Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 pounds (1.13 kilograms) Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 cup grated Asiago Cheese
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 large cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Thickeners and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh rosemary
- Sour cream
- Creme fraiche
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Grated Asiago cheese
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse potatoes under cool running water, ensuring all dirt and debris are removed, then allow to drain completely on a clean kitchen towel.
- Create a flavorful coating by whisking melted butter with cornstarch, finely chopped garlic, seasoned salt, cracked black pepper, and fragrant rosemary leaves until smooth and well-combined.
- Gently fold potatoes into the herb-infused butter mixture, ensuring each slice is generously and evenly coated with the aromatic seasoning.
- Select a robust cast iron skillet and generously lubricate the surface with remaining butter, creating a protective layer to prevent sticking.
- Artfully arrange potato slices in a cascading circular pattern, delicately nestling shredded Asiago cheese between each layer to create a rich, melty interior.
- Position the skillet on the lowest oven rack and roast at 425°F, allowing potatoes to transform into a golden, crispy delicacy with tender, creamy centers.
- After approximately 25-30 minutes, remove from oven when edges are beautifully caramelized and cheese is bubbling with a tempting golden-brown crust.
