· Potatoes: 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds .
· Cheese: 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (essential for the crispy crust) .
· Seasoning: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, salt & pepper .
· Oil: 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter for browning .
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare & Season: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the potato rounds in a bowl with olive oil and seasoning mix to coat them evenly .
- Coat the Cheese: Press each round firmly into the grated Parmesan so a generous layer sticks to the top and bottom for a crunchy exterior .
- Bake to Golden: Arrange the rounds on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is deep golden brown and the centers are fork-tender .
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and crisp .
