Servings and Timing

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings.

  • Preparation time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking time: 25-30 minutes
  • Total time: 35-40 minutes

Variations

  • Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.
  • Cheesy: Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the potato slices in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy finish.
  • Sweet Potato Variation: Substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor and texture.
  • Herb Variations: Experiment with different herbs such as thyme, oregano, or sage for a unique twist on the seasoning.

Storage/Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftover crispy roasted potato slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The potatoes will lose some of their crispiness but will still be delicious.
  • Reheating: Reheat the potato slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until crispy again. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Freezing: For best results, it’s recommended to eat these roasted potato slices fresh, but if you must freeze them, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To reheat, bake from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.

FAQs

1. Can I use any type of potato for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any variety of potato, but Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best for achieving a crispy texture. Sweet potatoes also make a great alternative for a slightly different flavor.

2. How do I get the potatoes extra crispy?

Make sure the potato slices are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping. Flipping them halfway through the cooking time also helps achieve even crispiness.

3. Can I make these in advance?

These crispy roasted potato slices are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness. However, you can prepare them ahead of time by slicing the potatoes and storing them in water in the refrigerator until ready to roast.

4. Can I make these without olive oil?

Olive oil helps the potatoes crisp up and adds flavor, but you can substitute it with another oil like vegetable oil, avocado oil, or even melted butter.

5. Can I bake these in an air fryer?

Yes, you can cook these potato slices in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

6. Can I use fresh rosemary instead of dried rosemary?

Yes, you can use fresh rosemary. Just chop it finely and use about twice the amount of fresh rosemary compared to the dried version for the best flavor.

7. How do I know when the potatoes are done?

The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy around the edges. You can also check by inserting a fork into a slice—it should be tender inside with a crispy exterior.

8. Can I add cheese to the potatoes?

Yes, you can add cheese! Sprinkle some grated parmesan or cheddar cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy touch.

9. How can I make these potatoes healthier?

For a lighter version, reduce the amount of olive oil or use a spray to lightly coat the potatoes before baking.

10. Can I freeze leftover crispy roasted potato slices?

While they are best fresh, you can freeze leftover crispy roasted potato slices. Be aware that they may lose some of their crispiness when reheated.

Conclusion

Crispy roasted potato slices are a simple yet delicious side dish that’s easy to prepare and full of flavor. The combination of garlic, herbs, and a crispy texture makes them an irresistible addition to any meal.
