Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
- 6 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into thick rounds, approximately 1 inch in thickness, resembling the shape of a hockey puck.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potato rounds and boil for 5 minutes to partially cook them. This step helps achieve a creamy interior.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and fresh rosemary (if using). Toss the potato rounds in this mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated on all sides.
Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for proper browning.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip each round carefully with a spatula and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, and enjoy the perfect combination of crispy exterior and fluffy interior!
