Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 bowl Cold water
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into very thin, even rounds (about 1/16-inch thick).
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, ensuring crispier wafers.
While the potatoes soak, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Add the potato slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat the slices evenly with the oil and herbs.
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the wafers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the baked potato wafers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately as a delicious snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
