Roasted Domino Potatoes

Absolutely loved this recipe. I mean...it's potatoes. Salt. Butter. Bay leaves. Simple, right? Simple is sometimes best, and this dish was super simple yet made the kitchen smell heavenly because of the fresh bay leaves, and it was a huge hit. My potatoes were more octagonal than square, because I had small-ish potatoes to work with, but I'm putting this in my 'go to' file because it was just that good.

at the end of the day, these were just plain ol' potatoes, albeit in a different shape. Mine took on a grayish-greenish cast. Too much work and waste for the effort.

Made these last night for a potluck. They are super easy, even without a mandoline. Mine may not have been perfect squares but they still looked elegant and were inhaled. Of course, there were a lot of teen boys and they eat almost anything... I reduced the cooking time to 40 minutes and used 6 very large potatoes. I roasted the cleaned potato "scraps" on a cookie sheet at the same time (shook them with olive oil and miscellaneous herbs). That way we could munch on "poor man potatoes" while admiring the "rich man potatoes" before the event.

This is an amazingly simple and delish recipe. Who knew bay leaves could be used this way? Weren't we taught that you only use them to throw in the soup pot!? One challenge is that they cannot be made ahead because you can't soak them in water to prevent browning. These are challenging to make for a large crowd!

No need to peel the potatoes if you are slicing off the sides and ends. I've made this twice and both times it disapeared. So fragrant and crispy and beautiful to look at. I would recommend doubling the recipe since the amount of potatoes is rather small once they are trimmed. I like the fact that this dish is not all that time- sensitive, meaning it can sit a bit if the rest of the dinner isn't quite ready. Great for a dinner party.

My guests loved these potatoes. Lots of waste but kept the sides and extras and made mashed potatoes. With the mandoline the slicing was easy. Wasn't sure that my "meat, potatoes, and gravy" guests would like them, But they loved them and almost licked the dish clean.

We love this recipe and it is such a beautiful and simple presentation. The WOW"s we received when serving them surely made the effort making them all that more worthwhile. To the reveiwers who hated all that waste. try making a spanish tortilla with the leftovers the next day!

This was one of the most simplest and delicious potato recipes I've ever tried. Let' face it potatoes can be boring. This recipe not only looks beautiful, which I must confess is the reason why I made it, but tastes wonderful! It's amazing how so few ingredients can change a potato. This is a keeper. I will make this again and again. This October 2011 issue had so many good recipes in it, it kept me awake at night!

Very rich and delicious- beautiful presentation as well. I used the whole potato rather than cutting them into rectangles and it was still just as pretty without all the waste.

Absolutely Loved these Made a five pound bag for 11 guests Should have made 10 pounds. Everyone wanted seconds You'll need to be creative with all the left-over potatoes created by slicing the shape.

These are delicious. You do lose a lot of potato when making the rectangle shape. Keep an eye on them as mine were almost overcooked at 40 minutes. I was running an errand and asked my husband to take them out of the oven. A third of the pan disappeared before I returned home. Hmm. The kids were fighting over who would get to have the remaining potatoes.

This was great just out of the oven. Not as good at room temp or reheated. Saved a lot of time by slicing potatoes in the food processor. Also made a second batch with even thinner sliced potatoes just reduced the cooking time and let them brown more. A very easy fast recipe.

I simply do not think this is worth the time or effort to make. Just an okay recipe. The picture looks beteer than it actually is. A one time recipe!

Loved this.Made ahead and reheated.Only issue was the bay leaves browned after only 10 minutes so perhaps I would use smaller or halved leaves so less stick out.
