Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

4 large Russet potatoes scrubbed clean and dried
3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Dried rosemary crushed
1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Sea salt plus more for finishing
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper freshly cracked
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated (optional)

Method

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Slice the potatoes into even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Ensuring even thickness is key for uniform cooking.
Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss thoroughly until every slice is well coated.
In a small ramekin, combine the garlic powder, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss again to distribute evenly.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap so they can crisp properly.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven and carefully flip each slice using a spatula.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and extra salt if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For maximum crispiness, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning. Make sure to pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel before adding the oil.
