Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 12 small potatoes, sliced into rounds
Seasoning & Coating
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Coat potatoes with oil: In a large bowl, toss the potato rounds with 2 tablespoons of olive oil ensuring each slice is evenly coated for even baking and crispiness.
- Add seasonings: Add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly so every potato slice is well covered with the flavorful coating.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Lay the coated potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow them room to crisp up without steaming.
- Bake and flip: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potato rounds halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness on both sides.
- Garnish and serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the potato rounds from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use small, firm potatoes for best results and uniform slicing.
- Flipping the potato rounds halfway through baking helps achieve an even crisp.
- Parmesan cheese adds a savory, crispy coating but can be adjusted or replaced with another cheese if desired.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispness; leftover rounds can be reheated in the oven to restore texture.
- You can customize the seasoning by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
