Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, as the skin will be left on for added fiber and nutrients. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniformity.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure each potato slice is evenly coated.
Spread the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It’s important that they do not overlap for even cooking and crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potato slices halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.
Once the patatas fritas are cooked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
Before serving, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of fresh flavor and an added heart-healthy touch.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy your heart-healthy Patatas Fritas!
