Ingredients 🛒
4 medium russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions 🍳
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash and peel the potatoes (optional), then slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Season the Potatoes:
In a large bowl, toss the potato rounds with olive oil, ensuring they are all coated evenly.
Add the Seasoning:
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley (if using), salt, and pepper over the potato rounds. Toss again to coat the slices well.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Place the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they don’t overlap for an even crisp.
Add the Parmesan:
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potato rounds.
Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, flipping the rounds halfway through for even crispiness.
Garnish and Serve:
Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy!
Tips 💡
Cheese Variations: Try adding some shredded mozzarella or cheddar for extra cheesy goodness.
Make It Spicy: If you like a little heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the potatoes before baking.
Dips: Serve with a side of ranch dressing or sour cream for dipping.
