Mir Potatoes is a contemporary Italian side dish that showcases modern cooking techniques like sous vide, reflecting Italy’s growing interest in precision cooking while still using classic flavors such as butter and mustard.

While Mir Potatoes itself is a modern invention, similar layered potato dishes appear in northern Italy, often using cheese or herbs; the sous‑vide version replaces cheese with a buttery mustard sauce for a lighter profile.

In Italy, Mir Potatoes is typically served as a warm side alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or a hearty bean stew, allowing the silky interior to complement robust main courses.

Because of its elegant presentation, Mir Potatoes is popular for dinner parties, festive gatherings, and holiday meals where a refined potato side adds a touch of sophistication.

Mir Potatoes pairs beautifully with braised short ribs, osso buco, grilled branzino, or a simple tomato‑based pasta, as the buttery mustard flavor balances rich proteins and acidic sauces.

The dish combines the classic Italian love for butter‑based sauces with the precision of sous vide, creating a texture that is impossibly tender yet finishes with a crisp, caramelized crust.

Common errors include over‑cooking the potatoes in the water bath, not sealing the vacuum bag tightly (which leads to water ingress), and under‑brush­ing the potatoes before roasting, resulting in a soggy finish.

Cooking at 88 °C gently cooks the thin potato slices evenly without breaking them apart, preserving the delicate mustard‑butter sauce and preventing the potatoes from becoming waterlogged, which can happen with boiling.

Yes. After the sous vide step, refrigerate the sealed bag for at least 12 hours. When ready to serve, simply roast the potatoes; leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

The sous‑vide potatoes should be uniformly tender and glossy from the butter‑mustard coating; after roasting, they should develop a deep golden‑brown crust while the interior remains silky.

The potatoes are done when the edges are crisp and golden brown and a fork slides easily into the interior without resistance, usually after 15‑20 minutes at 200 °C.
