Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 Lemon

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 Yukon Gold potatoes. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Do not peel the potatoes, as the skin adds to the crispiness.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle them with the extra virgin olive oil. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Add the fresh rosemary, garlic powder, sea salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure none of the slices overlap to ensure even crisping.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, carefully flip each potato slice using a spatula, and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 10

Zest the lemon over the roasted potato slices to add a fresh citrus aroma and flavor.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite Mediterranean-inspired entrees.
