French Dip Crescents

Jason and I both love french dip sandwiches but there isn't a single restaurant in our area that makes a good one.  He mentioned a few days ago that they sounded good and I have been craving them since then.  For dinner last night I had planned on grabbing some good french bread from the store and making up some serious french dips but wouldn't ya know there was no french bread left.  Long story made short, I was too tired to go across the street to the other grocery store and they didn't have any other kind of fresh bread so I said to heck with it, grabbed some refrigerated crescent rolls and decided to roll with it.  *note that I thought I was being creative until I saw it on Pinterest later in the evening*  So this is what the hubby came home to:

We had french dip crescents with au jus, and oven roasted sliced potatoes.  The entire meal took about an hour to prepare and cook. 

Oven Roasted Sliced Potatoes

1.  Wash and scrub potatoes and peel if desired

2.  Slice the potatoes into thin slices and layer them in a 13 x 9" casserole dish

3.  Melt your butter/margarine and pour over the potatoes.  Use a spatula to stir the potatoes to make sure they are all buttered.
