Yields 6 servings.
Ingredients:-
6 whole potatoes, parboiled until just tender
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1½ Tbsp. parsley flakes (fresh or dried)
Vegetable oil (if frying)
Slice the boiled potatoes into 1-2 cm (½–¾ inch) thick discs and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and parsley, tossing gently until all the discs are evenly coated.
To fry: Heat a generous layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the potato discs for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
To bake (lighter option): Arrange the potato discs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Serve hot, sprinkled with a little extra parsley if desired.
