Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F—a hot oven is key to achieving that perfect crispiness. Coat the potato rounds in olive oil, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to prevent steaming.
In a bowl, mix the Parmesan, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this flavorful blend evenly over the potatoes, ensuring every bite is enriched with herbs and cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Don’t forget to flip them halfway through for even cooking. For an extra cheesy crust, flip the potatoes near the end, add more Parmesan, and broil for 1-2 minutes—watch closely to avoid burning!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and watch them disappear!
Variations & Tips
Experiment with herbs: Try rosemary or oregano for a unique flavor twist. Repurpose leftovers by adding them to breakfast hash or salads. These potatoes are versatile and always a crowd-pleaser!
