Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 russet potatoes
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Dipping sauces (sour cream, ranch, or marinara)
Instructions
- Preparation: Set oven to 400F (200C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil to prevent adherence.
- Potato Processing: Slice potatoes into uniform quarter-inch rounds, guaranteeing consistent thickness for balanced roasting.
- Seasoning Technique: Toss potato rounds in olive oil, then massage with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Arrangement Strategy: Position seasoned rounds in single, non-overlapping layer on prepared baking sheet to maximize crispy potential.
- Initial Roasting Phase: Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating sheet midway to promote even golden-brown coloration and prevent uneven cooking.
- Cheese Infusion: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over potato rounds, returning to oven for additional 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and develops crispy edges.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, creating vibrant visual and flavor enhancement.
- Serving Recommendation: Present immediately while warm, offering complementary dipping sauces to elevate gustatory experience.
Notes
- Slice Precisely: Use a sharp knife or mandoline to ensure even 1/4-inch potato rounds for consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Prevent Sticking: Ensure baking sheet is well-oiled or lined with parchment paper to easily remove potato rounds without breaking.
- Maximize Crispiness: Spread potato rounds in a single layer without overcrowding, allowing each piece to brown and crisp evenly.
- Cheese Melting Tip: Add Parmesan cheese in the final cooking stage to prevent burning and achieve a perfect golden, slightly crispy cheese coating.
