Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the potatoes into thin wedges or sticks, ensuring they are evenly cut for uniform cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with extra virgin olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the potatoes well until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to gently flip the potato slices.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added burst of freshness.
