These crispy, buttery Domino Potatoes are sure to impress! Thinly sliced potatoes are brushed with butter, sprinkled with sea salt and oregano, then baked to crispy perfection!
Potatoes are a bit of a miracle, aren't they? Mash them, smash them, roast them, grill them! Is there a bad way to cook potatoes because I sure haven't found one yet. These crispy potatoes are called Domino potatoes, well because that is precisely what they look like! While they may look intimidating, they are exceptionally simple to prepare!
reasons you'll love this recipe
- Super impressive looking, but actually very easy!
- Minimal ingredients!
- Very versatile, as written this uses very classic flavors but you can customize this with other herbs and spices, as well as different add ins such as cheese, bacon, etc.
Ingredient Notes
- Potatoes: you can use any potato, but I think small golden potatoes work especially well in this recipe. They are easy to slice in a uniform fashion, they cook quickly and become perfectly crisp!
- Butter: unsalted or salted if you prefer.
- Spices: sea salt, pepper, oregano.
How to cut Domino Potatoes
- Slice the edges of your potatoes into a 'block.' You want to have a nice rectangle. Then slice your potatoes thinly on a mandoline. I HIGHLY recommend using the finger guard for these guys because you want to slice up as many of these gorgeous potatoes as you can (and not your fingers!!)
- Place the thinly sliced potato stacks in a baking dish or 9-inch cas iron skillet. Spread or fan them out (as pictured) like dominos. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt and some fresh oregano.
- Bake the potatoes until perfectly crisp. Remember, the thickness of the potatoes will determine your cooking time. So keep an eye on the dish and do not let them overbake.
Tip: The best part about these domino potatoes is that you don't have to brush the butter between each layer.

Storage
- Store in an airtight container once the potatoes have cooled completely.
- Oven: To reheat, place in an oven-safe dish and reheat at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until warmed.
- Air Fryer: place in an oven safe dish and air fry at 325 degrees for 5 minutes, or until warmed.
Recipe FAQ
No, once potatoes have been sliced they will turn dark rather quickly. These potatoes are best served fresh.
I use small gold potatoes, but any variety, including sweet potatoes will work.
Shoot for โ inch thin. This can be achieved with a good sharp chefs knife, but it is much easier with a mandoline.

Andrea @ Cooking with Mamma C says
Wow! My mouth is hanging open. I love this presentation, Denise! Go mandoline!

I'll change the butter for avocado oil. No one needs a Biochemistry degree to make this recipe. Same style as stack backed potatoes served in fine restaurants. Another idea is 15 hour baked potatoes. Beware of the carbs and calories though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HU8pFt-lLw&ab_channel=SauceStache.
