Rustic Italian Cast Iron Potatoes
The inspiration for this recipe comes from a Facebook post by Judy Witts Francini. You can find her Kindle book, Secrets From My Tuscan Kitchen
on Amazon, a veritable treasure trove of Tuscan recipes. You can make these potatoes in your kitchen oven or in your kamado-style cooker.
Serves 3-4.
Ingredients
- 3 Yukon Gold potatoes, about the size of a baseball
- Olive oil spray
- Rustic Italiano spice mix (see notes)
- Panko bread crumbs
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
- Butter, cut into small blobs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven/kamado cooker to 450° F. If using a kamado-style cooker, set it up for an indirect cook using a heat deflector.
- Spray the skillet with some olive oil, or wipe the skillet with an olive oil-soaked paper towel.
- Cut the ends off of the potatoes and cut the ends in half crosswise.
- Use a mandoline or a knife to slice the potatoes about 3/16" thick, or as thick as you prefer.
- Arrange the potatoes around the outside edge of the skillet as shown in the photo. Place the cut ends in the center.
- Give the potatoes a quick spray with olive oil or drizzle some olive oil onto the potatoes.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of Rustic Italiano spice mix on the potatoes.
- Place in your cooker for 40 minutes.
- Remove the pan from your cooker and sprinkle some panko bread crumbs and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top of the potatoes.
- Scatter small blobs of butter over the top of the potatoes.
- Return the pan to the cooker for 5 more minutes.
Notes
- We used a Griswold #6 skillet which is about 7½ inches across the bottom.
- Rustic Italiano spice mix can be found primarily in Fresh Market shops around the country. You can visit the
