Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade

  • In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Marinate the Potatoes

  • Add the potato slices to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better for maximum flavor).

Cook the Potatoes

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the marinated potato slices in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the potatoes gently to ensure even cooking.

Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving plate. Garnish generously with fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Garlic Potatoes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, pat the potato slices dry with paper towels before marinating.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking the potatoes; this will prevent them from crisping properly. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Feel free to experiment with other spices! Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat or a dash of cumin for an earthy flavor are great options.
  • These potatoes are delicious served warm or at room temperature. They also reheat well the next day, making them perfect for meal prep.
