Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (About 600 grams)
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (50 grams)
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the potato rounds perfectly.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into rounds about ¼ inch thick for even cooking and crispiness.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well so each round is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potato slices in a single layer to avoid overcrowding, which helps them crisp better.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potato rounds, ensuring every slice gets a tasty cheesy topping.
- Bake: Bake the potato rounds in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the potato rounds cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the potato rounds halfway through baking.
- Use russet or Yukon gold potatoes for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference, including adding chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; reheated rounds may lose some crispiness.
- Parmesan adds a nice salty punch, but you can substitute with nutritional yeast for a vegan alternative.
