2. Prepare Baking Sheet:

   • Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Infuse Garlic with Oil:

   • In a small bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic. Let it stand for 15 minutes to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.

4. Prepare Potatoes:

   • Place the potato in a medium saucepan with 1 quart of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
   • Boil the potato for about 12 minutes until it is tender.
   • Drain the potato and let it stand for 10 minutes or until it’s cool enough to handle.

5. Prepare Spice Mixture:

   • While the potato is cooling, combine chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to blend the spices evenly.

6. Slice Potatoes:

   • Once the potato is cooled, cut it into 20 slices.

7. Assemble and Bake:

   • Place the onion slices on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Arrange the potato slices over the onion slices on the baking sheet.
   • Brush the potato slices with half of the infused oil and garlic mixture.
   • Sprinkle half of the spice mixture evenly over the potato slices.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning the slices once halfway through baking.
   • Brush the remaining infused oil and garlic mixture over the potatoes after turning.
   • Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture over the potatoes.

8. Serve:

   • Once baked to golden perfection, remove from the oven and serve hot as a delightful side dish or a standalone snack.

Tips:

• For extra crispiness, you can flip the potato slices more than once during baking.
• Adjust the spice levels according to your preference for a milder or spicier flavor.
• These Spicy Home Fries pair well with a dipping sauce or alongside your favorite main dish for a complete meal.

Enjoy your Spicy Home Fries, packed with flavor and goodness! Perfect for cozy winter brunches or as a satisfying snack any time of the day.
