Spud-tastic

The last time I went grocery shopping, I picked up a bag of Russet potatoes that were on sale for about 3 dollars. When you think about how much things like hash browns, potato chips and french fries cost in a restaurant, it makes so much more sense to learn how to make these things on your own (not to mention, it's healthier too!). So without further ado or lame back story, here's a recipe for one of my favorite snacks: rosemary-garlic potato slices. This recipe will make your house smell like rosemary, which is known for its intellectually clarifying properties!




Rosemary Garlic Potato Slices
Musical Accompaniment: Lily Allen


6 Medium Sized potatoes (I used russet but sweet potatoes are also delicious and more healthy!)
Kosher Salt
Garlic
Rosemary
olive oil


Wash potatoes thoroughly. With a knife, chop the potatoes into thin slices (about 1 cm in width. 
Coat pan in olive oil and mix in some garlic.  Heat until garlic is fragrant (but not burnt!)
Mix in potatoes and coat them in hot oil/garlic.
Set the oven to 400 degrees.
Transfer oily/garlicy potatoes to baking dish, attempting to keep them in even layers.
Sprinkle a generous amount of rosemary on potatoes and any olive oil (if dry looking in places)
Bake potatoes for 30 minutes, or until tops are golden
pull potatoes out of oven and with a spatula, mix them up. 
Sprinkle with kosher salt.
Bake for 10 more minutes.


Best enjoyed after cooled slightly and with sriracha/ketchup dipping sauce!
