Let’s get down to business and study the recipe for this time-honored delicacy, shall we?
INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
– 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
– 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
– 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (optional for added flavor)
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or your favorite herbs, such as thyme or oregano)
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra richness)
– Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
PREPARATION:
1st Step
Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Thinly slice the cleaned potatoes into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick rounds. For even slices, you can use a pointed knife or a mandoline slicer.
2nd Step
Toss the potato slices with olive oil in a large basin until they are evenly coated. Add minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, if desired. To evenly distribute the seasonings, toss once more.
3rd Step
Place the seasoned potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that they do not overlap. This facilitates their crispiness.
4th Step
Bake the potato segments in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crusty. To ensure even heating, flip the segments midway through the baking period.
5th Step
During the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of your divided baked potatoes to add extra richness. This will permit the cheese to soften and turn golden and foamy.
6th Step
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven. For a burst of color and freshness, garnish with freshly minced parsley or scallions. Serve promptly as a side dish, aperitif, or refreshment.
