Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking for even cooking and optimal crispness.
- Slice the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin, uniform rounds to allow them to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a flavorful coating for the potato slices.
- Toss the potatoes: Add the potato slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure each slice is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
- Arrange and bake: Lay the coated potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even cooking, then bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot: Remove from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the potato slices halfway through baking.
- Use russet potatoes for best texture, but yellow potatoes work well too.
- Feel free to adjust seasonings to taste or add herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure your paprika and garlic powder brands are certified gluten-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
