1
Begin by heating your oven to 400 degrees F.
-
2
While the oven preheats, heat a small skillet and add the oil and garlic.
-
3
Cook on medium to low heat for about 5 minutes, trying to get as much of the garlic infused into the oil.
-
4
Remove the skillet from the heat.
-
5
Remove the garlic, and throw it away.
-
6
Reserve the oil.
-
7
Make sure you thinly slice your potatoes.
-
8
This is great practice with your knife skills.
-
9
Once all of your potatoes are sliced, add them to the cold water, making sure they are all submerged.
-
10
Let them sit in the water for about 20 minutes.
-
11
Drain, and place them on a large towel, making sure you pat them dry.
-
12
Add the potatoes to a large bowl, adding in the reserved oil, salt, and herbes de provence.
-
13
Toss the potatoes, making sure you evenly coat them with the seasonings.
-
14
Spray a large sheet tray with cooking oil.
-
15
Add the sliced potatoes to the sheet making sure not to overlap or crowd.
-
16
Place in the preheated oven and cook until a nice golden brown, being careful not to overcook them as they will get bitter.
-
17
These take about 2026 minutes in the oven.
-
18
Quickly remove the potatoes from the pan, adding them to another bowl and toss with a pinch of salt.
-
19
Serve warm or place them in a brown paper bag for later use.

When I placed these on the table, the kids took a glance at them, as did my wife.

As soon as they ate one, it was as though we had the best bag of chips poured out onto a plate and we all just dove in.
