Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Roasted Potato Slices. This dish is easy to prepare and can be customized with your favorite seasonings.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
Directions:
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. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds extra flavor and texture.
- Slice the potatoes into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Season the potatoes:
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder, thyme, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss again to ensure the potatoes are well-seasoned.
4. Arrange on the baking sheet:
- Lay the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If you want them extra crispy, make sure the slices aren’t overlapping too much.
5. Roast the potatoes:
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. The potatoes should be fork-tender when pierced.
6. Optional cheese topping:
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.
7. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor after roasting.
- You can experiment with different herbs and spices, such as rosemary, oregano, or onion powder.
- For a bit of heat, try adding crushed red pepper flakes.
These Roasted Potato Slices are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—perfect as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
