Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound Potatoes
Supporting Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Herbs and Spices:
- ¼ teaspoon Parsley (dried)
- ⅛ teaspoon Rosemary (dried)
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Granules
- ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- Scrub 1 lb potatoes under cool water, removing any surface dirt. Keep skins on for extra nutrition and texture.
- Pat each potato completely dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Moisture prevents crispy edges.
- Slice potatoes into uniform ¼-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Consistent thickness ensures even cooking.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss to coat each slice thoroughly.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon parsley, ⅛ teaspoon rosemary, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion granules, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and salt directly onto oiled potatoes. Toss until seasonings evenly distribute.
- Arrange seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure no overlapping to promote crispy edges.
- Slide baking sheet into a preheated 400°F oven. Roast potatoes for exactly 25 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers become tender.
- Remove from oven and let potatoes rest for 3 minutes. Transfer to serving plate immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
- Potato selection matters most for texture, so choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes that hold their shape during baking.
- Cutting uniform slices helps potatoes cook evenly, so use a sharp knife or mandoline for consistent thickness around 1/4 inch thick.
- Spacing potato slices separately on the baking sheet prevents steaming and allows each slice to crisp beautifully, creating a delightful golden exterior.
- For special dietary needs, swap regular oil with avocado or coconut oil for different flavor profiles, and use gluten-free seasonings if preparing for sensitive diets.
