Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs (680 g / 24 oz) Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (15 g / 0.53 oz) chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 g / 0.04 oz) black pepper
  • For the crispiest edges, carefully open the foil packet for the last 10-15 minutes of baking time.
  • Ensure potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking. A mandoline slicer is excellent for this.
  • The garlic-herb purée can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to experiment with other herbs! A teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme added to the purée works beautifully.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large sheet pan.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the roughly chopped onion, olive oil, fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Purée the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with the garlic-herb purée and the salt until every slice is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated potatoes to a ready-made foil oven bag or create your own packet by placing them on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil.
  5. Arrange them in no more than two layers and crimp the edges of the foil to seal it tightly.
  6. Place the foil packet on the sheet pan and bake on the center rack for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Carefully open the foil packet (watch for steam!) , season with black pepper, and serve immediately.
