Description

These simple roasted potato rounds are a staple of Mediterranean home cooking. By slicing russet potatoes into uniform quarter-inch rounds, you create plenty of surface area for a deliciously crispy exterior while maintaining a fluffy, tender interior. Tossed generously with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper, these potatoes absorb the rich, fruity notes of the oil. They are the perfect companion to grilled fish or seafood stews, adding a comforting, earthy element to the plate. This side dish is incredibly versatile, easy to prepare, and requires minimal ingredients, making it an ideal choice for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings where you want flavorful food without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into even 1/4-inch thick rounds, leaving the skins on for texture and nutrients.
  3. Place the potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to promote even crisping.
  4. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the potato slices, using a brush or your hands to toss them gently until fully coated.
  5. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, distributing the seasoning evenly across all slices.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
  7. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving alongside your favorite seafood dish.
