Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large russet potatoes
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt
- Black pepper
Garnish and Optional Toppings:
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Shredded cheese
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash 3 large russet potatoes under cool running water, scrubbing away any dirt with your hands.
- Slice potatoes into precise ¼-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife, ensuring each slice is uniform in thickness.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into it.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and paprika, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, plus salt and black pepper into the oil.
- Gently tumble potato rounds in the seasoned oil, coating every slice completely with the aromatic mixture.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating with cooking spray.
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer without overlapping, allowing each piece maximum exposure to heat.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 25–30 minutes.
- Halfway through cooking, carefully flip each potato slice to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
- Remove from oven when slices are golden brown and tender in the center.
- Optional: Scatter fresh chopped parsley across the potatoes for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Notes
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure each slice cooks evenly and gets that perfect crispy texture.
- Use a mandoline slicer for super-thin, consistent potato rounds if precision is important to me.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices like rosemary, cumin, or chili powder to change up the flavor profile.
- For a healthier version, swap olive oil with avocado oil and use nutritional yeast instead of cheese for a dairy-free alternative.
