Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (or a mix of both)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds, keeping them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
  3. Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Toss the potato slices in the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they don’t overlap, as this will ensure crispiness.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potato slices for 25–30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip the slices over to ensure both sides get golden and crispy.
  6. Check for Doneness: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges, remove them from the oven. They should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve the crispy roasted potato slices hot as a side dish or snack.
