- 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes
Garlic Herb Marinade:
- 60 ml Avocado oil or neutral oil
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Fresh rosemary finely minced
- 2 tsp Fresh thyme finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves finely grated

- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Optional Finishes:
- 2 tbsp Vegan parmesan
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Make the marinade- In a shallow bowl, mix the avocado oil, salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, thyme, and grated garlic. Set aside.
- Prep the potatoes- Slice a thin piece off two opposite sides of each potato so they sit flat. Cut each potato into 1/4-inch thick planks. Place planks in cold water.
- Make accordion cuts- Place one potato plank between two skewers or chopsticks.- Slice straight across, very close together, without cutting all the way through.- Flip the plank and slice again at a 45° angle.- Return to cold water and repeat with remaining planks.
- Dry and season- Pat the potatoes completely dry. Place them on a room-temperature sheet pan.- Brush both sides generously with the garlic herb marinade.
- Bake- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp.- Flip the potatoes and bake another 12–15 minutes until deeply crispy and sizzly.For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Make the chipotle mayo- While the potatoes bake, mix vegan mayo, lime juice, salt, pepper, and chipotle paste or adobo sauce. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- Finish and serve- Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with vegan parmesan and chives.- Serve hot with smoky chipotle mayo on the side.
