- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully slice potatoes into thin, consistent 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Whisk melted butter and olive oil together in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Gently tumble potato slices in the butter-oil mixture, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
- Create tightly packed, vertical rows of potato slices on the prepared baking sheet, keeping edges slightly overlapping.
- Generously scatter fresh thyme leaves across the potato arrangement.
- Sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper over the potato rows for enhanced flavor.

- Carefully remove from oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Check potato slice thickness consistently to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Use a mandoline for precise, uniform slices that cook uniformly and look visually appealing.
- Experiment with alternative herbs like rosemary or sage for different flavor profiles.
- Drain excess moisture from potato slices before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
