This recipe was born out of a moment when we had no bread left but plenty of potatoes. My aunt, always the kitchen genius, turned thin slices of potatoes into golden “toast” – and we topped it with creamy avocado. It was love at first bite! It’s simple, gluten-free, and totally unforgettable. Give it a try and surprise someone at breakfast!
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 ripe avocado
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil for brushing
Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, feta, or poached egg
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice potatoes lengthwise into ¼-inch thick pieces.
Brush both sides with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Once potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then spread the avocado on top.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter version.
Add a fried or poached egg on top for extra protein.
Great as a snack, lunch, or a fancy brunch bite!
