All you need are Yukon gold potatoes, olive oil, fresh thyme, and salt to make these crispy baked potato slices. Use a mandoline to create uniform potato slices—it's also quicker than slicing by hand. Try serving this simple side with our Striped Sea Bass with Blood Oranges and Olives.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, very thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for pan

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and place rack in the middle of the oven. In a medium bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until well coated.

  2. Generously brush a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil, and overlap the potato slices just slightly. Bake until potatoes are golden brown and crisp in places, about 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes

A Japanese or French mandoline is great for slicing vegetables uniformly—anywhere from very thin to thick—and takes much less time than slicing by hand with a knife.
