Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the Yukon Gold potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt. Dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Step 5
Flip the potato slices carefully using a spatula. Pour in the water, then cover the skillet immediately to let the potatoes steam, reducing the heat to low. Allow them to cook for another 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the potatoes gently to coat evenly with the seasonings.
Step 7
Add the fresh rosemary and thyme, then continue to cook uncovered for an additional 3-5 minutes, frequently flipping to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown on both sides.
Step 8
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a touch of brightness and serve immediately as a side dish or a heart-healthy snack.
