Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, as the skin will be left on for added fiber and nutrients. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniformity.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure each potato slice is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It’s important that they do not overlap for even cooking and crispiness.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potato slices halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.
Step 7
Once the patatas fritas are cooked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
Step 8
Before serving, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of fresh flavor and an added heart-healthy touch.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy your heart-healthy Patatas Fritas!
