Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 small potatoes, sliced into rounds
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 400°F, ensuring a crisp cooking environment for the potato rounds.
- Clean and slice potatoes into uniform, thin circular discs to promote even cooking and consistent texture.
- Create a flavorful coating by mixing grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, smoky paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the potato rounds, ensuring each slice is lightly and evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned potato rounds in a single, non-overlapping layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote crispy edges.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Monitor the potato rounds closely during the final minutes of baking to prevent burning, looking for a crisp exterior and tender interior.
- Remove from the oven and allow the rounds to rest for a few minutes, which helps them firm up and become extra crunchy.
- Sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the hot potato rounds for a burst of color and herbal freshness before serving immediately.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for best results and golden-brown edges.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow potatoes to crisp up perfectly.
- Experiment with additional herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor complexity.
