🧾 Ingredients

For the Potatoes
4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold, red, or russet) 2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp paprika (optional)
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary Salt & black pepper, to taste
For Serving
Optional: Ranch, sour cream, or aioli Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Set oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.

2. Prep the Potatoes

  • Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly.
  • Pat dry with a towel—dry slices crisp up better.
  • Slice thinly and evenly (about ⅛ inch) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  • Place slices in a large bowl.

3. Season

  • Drizzle olive oil over the slices and toss to coat.
  • Add garlic powder, paprika, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss again to evenly distribute seasoning.

4. Bake

  • Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet—no overlapping.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.

5. Serve

  • Let cool slightly for extra crispiness.
  • Garnish with parsley if desired.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dip or enjoy on their own.

🌟 Tips for Success

  • Even Slices = Even Crisp: A mandoline helps achieve uniform thickness.
  • Boost the Flavor: Try Parmesan, chili flakes, or lemon zest for extra zing.
  • Make Ahead: Prep and slice potatoes in advance—just keep them in water to prevent browning.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
