Ingredients:
- 1 pound of Idaho® Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- generous serving of infused salt
Infused Salt:
- 1 cup of Kosher salt, flaked or coarse
- 1 sprig of dried thyme
- pinch of dried rosemary
- 2 leaves of dried sage
- 1 inch long dried lemon peel
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400° F and slice your potatoes no larger than ¼ inch in thickness (the thinner the slice, the easier it is for them to burn, the larger the slice, the harder it is for them to cook evenly).
- Toss your sliced potatoes into a mixing bowl, and then coat with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Once fully coated, place each slice on a pre-greased parchment sheet onto of a baking sheet, ensuring that the potatoes are not touching before placing in them in the oven.
- Bake them for 10 minutes, and then rotate the potatoes, turning them to ensure even baking. Repeat for 30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the potatoes bake, add the salt ingredients to a food processor and blitz until fully blended. Pour into an airtight jar.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and generously sprinkle with the salt, allowing them to cool to the touch before eating.
