Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds small Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Topping & Garnish
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sliced Yukon gold potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper ensuring all slices are evenly coated for balanced flavor.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even baking and crisping.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each potato round to create a cheesy, crispy topping as it bakes.
- Bake the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Broil for Crispiness: For extra crispy edges, broil the potatoes for an additional 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking; watch closely to prevent burning.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven, let the rounds cool slightly to set, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving warm.
Notes
- For added heat and depth of flavor, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- Serve these potato rounds with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty appetizer or side.
