Crispy baked potatoes are a delicious and healthy choice, perfect for any occasion. This recipe is simple, but the final result will surely impress anyone who tastes them. We start with the potatoes, which we carefully select, preferably new or red ones, as they have a better texture and provide a sweeter taste.
The first step is to wash the potatoes. Using a rough sponge, we scrub them well under running water, making sure to remove any impurities or leftover dirt. After cleaning them, we cut them into thin slices, about 1-2 cm, to ensure they cook evenly. The potato slices are placed in a large bowl, where the seasoning stage follows.
We add olive oil, which will not only help achieve a crispy texture but will also bring an extra flavor. We sprinkle dried thyme, salt, freshly ground pepper, and sweet or smoked paprika, depending on preferences. We mix the potatoes well, ensuring that each slice is evenly coated with the spices. This mixture will not only enrich the taste but will also make the potatoes take on a beautiful color during baking.
To add a crunchy note, we sprinkle cornmeal and grated parmesan over the potatoes. The cornmeal will give them a delicious crust, while the parmesan will provide an intense, salty, umami flavor. We mix again, so that each slice is covered with this savory mixture.
We preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F) and prepare our tray. We place a piece of parchment paper on the tray, which will prevent the potatoes from sticking and ensure easy cleaning afterward. We arrange the potato slices on the tray, being careful not to overlap them, to allow each slice to cook evenly.
We place the tray in the oven and let the potatoes bake for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure they become crispy on all sides. When the potatoes turn golden and crispy, we take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Whether served as a side dish or snack, these potatoes are delicious, healthy, and extremely versatile. Enjoy!
