Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin matchsticks or shoestrings, as evenly as possible for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help them crisp up better.

Step 3

After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove all moisture.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Add the dried potato sticks to the bowl and toss them well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potato sticks on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded, which allows for better crisping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them in the last 5 minutes to avoid over-browning.

Step 8

Once golden brown and crispy, remove the Batata Palha from the oven. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheets to maintain their crispiness.

Step 9

Serve immediately as an accompaniment to dishes like feijoada, or enjoy them as a delicious low-sodium snack.
