Make easy layered cast iron skillet potatoes for the perfect brunch or dinner side dish, that’s both vegetarian and gluten free!
Hi guys, it’s Whitney here, updating this now classic blog recipe for Cast Iron Skillet Potatoes!
I originally introduced this dish in the summer of 2012 before I owned a cast iron skillet, while I was visiting my parents in Oklahoma. I started playing around with my Dad’s cast iron skillets and creating new recipes like this one for the, then very young, blog!
Today, I’m adding new photos of the dish, along with my very first “Tasty Style” recipe video.
If you’ve been on Facebook or YouTube lately, you’ve likely seen the mouth-watering fast motion videos, showing you how to make delicious recipes from”Tasty”, which just so happens to be owned by Buzzfeed!
I decided to take some of the most popular recipes on the blog and create these short, fast motion recipe videos for your viewing pleasure!

How fun was that?!
I love these potatoes because of their wonderful mix of texture. The middle layer is tender and flavorful, while the top layer is nice and crispy!
These potatoes are the perfect side dish for brunch, dinner or a BBQ! They’re also gluten free and vegetarian, so everyone can enjoy them!
Try them for dinner tonight with a Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, French Onion Pot Roast or Chipotle Apple Pork Loin!

Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes, app 3 lbs - sliced

- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Place a layer of potatoes, slightly overlapping, on to the melted butter.
- Combine the steak seasoning, thyme and rosemary in a small bowl.
- As you go, layer onions and sprinkle seasonings and one clove of crushed garlic over each layer.

- Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes.

The wife loved them. I did not have thyme or use steak seasoning, used salt and pepper instead. The Iron skillet works great. I stirred them a couple times to help them get crispier. I probably used too much butter…well probably not for Paula D.
So glad the wife was a fan Chris 🙂
This turned out very nicely. Didn’t have steak seasoning, fresh thyme, and I don’t use butter. But I did use coconut oil, dried thyme & rosemary and a garlic/herb seasoning, plus sea salt. It was delicious. I think I’ll cook it at 400 degrees next time to get the potatoes crispier. Thanks for the recipe starter! I never know what to do with potatoes besides baking them.
How good do those potatoes look! Must give ’em a try!
Thank you!! They are so delicious for being so simple!!
Looks delish!!! And so pretty! Must try this soon 🙂
Thanks girl! Let me know how they turn out when you try them!
Will do 🙂
Those look fantastic. Thanks oh so much. It’s a good day when there are potatoes and I’m cooking them in cast iron.
Thank you! I would agree! Love cooking with a cast iron skillet!
