Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes, then use a mandoline or a spiralizer to cut them into thin shoestring strips.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato strings with olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Evenly spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheets in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded for optimal crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the Batata Palha to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. This will help them crisp up further.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a garnish for your favorite dishes or as a crunchy snack on its own.
