These potato slices have been a hit since I learned the technique from a friend while in University! They are a regular feature at our family table and are quick to dissappear when they come out… Heck even our senior dog loves them!

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 2-3 Tablespoons Canola or Olive Oil
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Coarse Black Pepper
• 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Slice potatoes lengthwise 1/8 inch thick – trying to make as even thickness as possible. This will ensure even cooking. I typcially disgard and compost the first and last slices (skin one side) as they typically don’t cook the same as the rest.
3. Place slices in a large bowl and rinse. Rinse the slices well with cold water – this removes some of the excess starch. 
4. Dry potatoes and bowl well with paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
5. Drizzle oil over potatoes working to ensure all sides of all slices are covered.
6. Mix spices – combine salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl
7. Sprinle seasoning over potato slices – working a bit at a time, tossing slices in the bowl so that all sides of all slices are evenly coated.
8. Carefully place slices on the middle rack of your oven. Do so by sliding it out so that you can arrange slices in a single layer across the whole rack. See picture below. Be careful as rack will be very hot. Slide rack back in to oven and cook potatoes
9. Roast potatoes – After 15 mins slide rack out and turn potatoes over – its best to use tongs for this step. Return rack and cook for another 5-7 mins. Continue flipping the slices every 5-7 mins until evenly cooked and golden brown. Total cooking time is typically 25-35 mins but ovens can vary. If some slices are cooking faster as they are thinner you can remove and place in a covered metal bowl until serving.
10. Allow to cool slightly – Once all potatoes are cooked golden brown place in a metal bowl to cool for 1-2 mins before serving!
11. Enjoy this tasty veggie side dish!
