Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 12 small potatoes, sliced into rounds
Coating & 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Coat Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until each piece is evenly coated to ensure crispiness when baked.
- Add Seasonings: Add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the bowl with potatoes. Mix thoroughly, making sure each slice is well coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potato slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overlap for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potato rounds halfway through the baking time to promote even browning and crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the potato rounds from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure potato slices are cut evenly and not too thick.
- Flipping halfway ensures both sides become nicely browned and crunchy.
- You can substitute Parmesan with a vegetarian hard cheese for a vegetarian-friendly option.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best texture; leftovers can be reheated but may lose some crispness.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle spicy kick if desired.
