Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

6 cloves of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional for an aromatic touch)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). The high heat is key for achieving that desired crispiness.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and peeling the Yukon Gold potatoes. With a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, carefully slice the potatoes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. To help remove excess starch—which leads to better crisping—submerge the slices in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes.

      Make the Garlic Oil: In a small bowl, mix together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried herbs (if desired). Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.

        Drain and Dry: After allowing the potatoes to soak, drain the slices well and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Use another towel to gently pat them dry, ensuring excess moisture is removed.

          Coat the Potato Slices: Transfer the dried potato slices into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic oil mixture over the slices and toss them gently until every slice is evenly coated.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for hassle-free cleanup. Lay out the potato slices in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to guarantee even cooking.

              Bake: Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the slices for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook beautifully and get that golden-brown finish. Keep a close watch, as you’re aiming for a crispy texture without burning.

                Cool and Garnish: As soon as the slices are golden and crispy, take the baking sheet out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Enhance presentation by garnishing the potatoes with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant pop of color and flavor.

                  Serve: Enjoy your delightful crispy garlic potato slices warm, either as a standalone snack or a tasty side dish. They pair perfectly with dips like sour cream or aioli for an extra indulgent experience!
