Serves: 4 people | Time: ? minutes
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare the Potato Slices:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds texture.
- Slice the potatoes into even 1/4-inch thick rounds for uniform cooking.
-
Season and Roast:
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl.
- Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, avoiding overlap for even roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy at the edges.
-
Make the Spicy Butter Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and Louisiana hot sauce. Mix well until fully blended.
- Toss the Potatoes in the Glaze:
- Once the potato slices are roasted and still warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the spicy butter glaze over the slices and toss gently to coat them evenly.
-
Serve:
- Arrange the glazed potato slices on a serving plate.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Tips
-
For Extra Crispiness: Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting. This removes excess starch and enhances crispiness. Make sure to pat them dry thoroughly before seasoning.
-
Adjusting Heat Level: Increase or decrease the amount of Louisiana hot sauce to suit your spice preference. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
-
Pairing Suggestions: These spicy potato slices pair beautifully with a cooling dip like ranch, blue cheese dressing, or even plain Greek yogurt.
