My Dad was a grilling enthusiast and frequently made a foil-pouch version of this simple potato recipe. But with butter, naturally. As a kid, I thought it was the most amazing side dish on the planet. Fast forward a few decades, and now I make an oven version with olive oil. Feel free to sprinkle on spices, like smoked paprika, or herbs.

Crispy Roasted Red Potato Slices

1 pound medium red potatoes (about 4), very thinly sliced (1/8 inch)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon butter (optional) for a richer taste

Place one oven rack in the middle and one rack 6 inches below broiler element. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with oil. Stack potatoes, a handful at a time, then fan them out like fallen dominoes in the pan. Drizzle oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Seal the pan with foil. Bake until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil. Change the heat to high broil and bake until the tops of the potatoes are golden, about 5 minutes. For a richer taste, dot with butter immediately after removing from the oven.
