Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 bowl Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into very thin, even rounds (about 1/16-inch thick).

Step 2

Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, ensuring crispier wafers.

Step 3

While the potatoes soak, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 6

Add the potato slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat the slices evenly with the oil and herbs.

Step 7

Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the wafers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the baked potato wafers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delicious snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
