Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes about 1 ¾ pounds, unpeeled
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ large red jalapeno chile seeded & membranes removed
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Cut potatoes lengthwise into slices that are ⅓-inch thick and then cut each slice into ⅓-inch thick strips. Dry the potatoes between two kitchen towels.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Divide the potatoes between two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread into a single layer.
  4. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 40 minutes, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, and rotating the racks halfway through baking.
  5. Heat 1 teaspoon olive in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic.
  6. Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and toss with garlic, peppers, and cilantro. Taste (careful – they’ll be hot!) and season with additional salt, if necessary. Serve.
