- kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- Lay out potatoes on a non-stick baking sheet with edges. Smush potatoes with the bottom of a jar or glass. The thinner they are, the crispier they will be. Aim for 1/2 - 3/4 inch.
- Drizzle about a teaspoon of your garlic and ghee mix over each potato.
- Sprinkle with parsley and kosher salt to your liking.
