Roasted Potato Slices

Ingredients

– 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
– 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and slightly crushed (optional)
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) for garnish

Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven:
   – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
2. Prepare the  Potatoes:
   – In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until they are evenly coated.
3. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
   – Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
4. Add Rosemary and Garlic (Optional):
   – If using, scatter the fresh rosemary sprigs and crushed garlic cloves over the potato slices for added flavor.
5. Roast the Potatoes:
   – Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

1. Brush with Butter:
   – After roasting, brush the melted butter over the potato slices for added richness and flavor.
2. Garnish and Serve:
   – Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.
