Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for consistency.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled potato slices. Toss again until all slices are evenly coated with the spices.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap to promote even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or a side dish and enjoy the spicy, crispy goodness!
