Roasted Potato Slices
Indulge in the irresistible flavor and crunch of Roasted Potato Slices, a simple yet satisfying side dish perfect for any meal. Thinly sliced potatoes, infused with herbs and spices, are roasted to perfection in the oven, yielding a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
Ingredients:
- 4 big potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces after peeling.
- Half a tablespoon of olive oil
- One teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder;
- One tsp of paprika
- Fresh sprigs of rosemary (optional)
- 3–4 peeled and gently smashed garlic cloves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley) for decoration
Guidelines:
1. **Preheat the Oven** – Set the oven’s temperature to 400°F, or 200°C. A baking sheet may be gently oiled or lined with parchment paper.
2. **Get the potatoes ready:** – The potato slices should be equally coated after being tossed in a big basin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. **Arrange on Baking Sheet:** – Put the potato slices on the baking sheet that has been prepared in a single layer. To guarantee consistent cooking, make sure they are not overlapping.
4. **Add Garlic and Rosemary (Optional):** – For extra flavour, sprinkle smashed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs over the potato slices, if using.
5. **Roast the Potatoes:** – Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy around the edges and golden brown. To achieve equal roasting, flip the slices halfway through the cooking time.
6. **Brush with Butter:** – To give the potato slices more flavour and richness after roasting, brush them with melted butter.
7. **Garnish and Serve:** – Before serving, garnish with fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley.
