Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb small red potatoes
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Seasoning:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick spray.
- Slice 1 lb of red potatoes into uniform ¼-inch rounds, ensuring each piece is evenly sized.
- Spread the potato rounds in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potato rounds, gently tossing to ensure each slice is lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the entire cheese mixture evenly across the potato rounds, covering each slice with seasoning.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated 400°F oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Halfway through cooking, carefully flip each potato round to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Remove the potatoes when they turn golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving to add a bright, fresh touch.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispy texture across all rounds.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and flavor distribution on your potato slices.
- Parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes clean-up super easy after baking.
- For a lighter version, swap olive oil with cooking spray and use a lower-fat Parmesan alternative.
