Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Do not peel the potatoes, as the skin adds to the crispiness.
Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle them with the extra virgin olive oil. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated.
Add the fresh rosemary, garlic powder, sea salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure none of the slices overlap to ensure even crisping.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, carefully flip each potato slice using a spatula, and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Zest the lemon over the roasted potato slices to add a fresh citrus aroma and flavor.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite Mediterranean-inspired entrees.
