Print Recipe

A simple and impressive side dish featuring thinly sliced potatoes roasted to crispy perfection with fresh rosemary and olive oil. Perfect for any occasion and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium-sized Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 2–3 fresh rosemary sprigs, finely chopped
  • 3–4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position.
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on.
  3. Place a potato on a cutting board. Place two chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side to prevent cutting all the way through. Make thin, even cuts about 1/8 inch (3 mm) apart, stopping about 1/4 inch (6 mm) from the bottom.
  4. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, melted butter, chopped rosemary, sliced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Use a pastry brush or spoon to brush the oil and herb mixture generously over and between the slices, ensuring some gets inside each cut.
  6. Roast the potatoes for 40-45 minutes, brushing more oil mixture every 15 minutes to build crispy layers without drying out.
  7. Watch for the slices to fan out and develop golden-brown edges. Tent with foil if some slices brown too quickly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set the crispiness.
  9. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh rosemary or flaky sea salt.

Notes

Use chopsticks or wooden spoons to prevent slicing all the way through the potato. Dry potatoes thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Basting every 15 minutes is key for crispy layers. Adjust roasting time for potato size. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crispness.
