For Serving:
- Optional: Ranch dressing, sour cream, or aioli for dipping
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel (dry potatoes crisp up better!).
- Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thinly and evenly as possible (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
3. Season the Potatoes
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, thyme (or rosemary), salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to ensure all slices are well-seasoned.
4. Arrange and Bake
- Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping to ensure even crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly for added crispiness.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, sour cream, or aioli.
- Enjoy every bite of these crispy, flavorful potatoes!
- Perfect as a standalone snack or paired with sandwiches, burgers, or grilled proteins for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
-
- Use a Mandoline Slicer: A mandoline ensures even slices, which helps the potatoes cook uniformly.
- Soak the Potatoes: For extra crispiness, soak the slices in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them dry before seasoning.
- Switch Seasonings: Try smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or grated Parmesan cheese for variety.
- Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
