Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 12 small potatoes, sliced into rounds
Seasoning
- 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 the oven: Set 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 the potato slices: In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with the olive oil until they are evenly coated, ensuring each slice is covered well.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the bowl. Mix thoroughly so that every potato round has a generous layer of the flavorful seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to allow even cooking.
- Bake the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potato rounds halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
- Finish and serve: Once baked, remove the potato rounds from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use small, firm potatoes like baby Yukon gold or red potatoes for the best texture and size.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Feel free to adjust seasoning amounts to your taste preferences.
- These potato rounds can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
- Substitute Parmesan with a vegan cheese alternative for a dairy-free version.
