Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 600 grams / 21.2 ounces)
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 100 grams / 3.5 ounces)
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a high temperature of 425F (220C) to ensure crispy potato rounds.
- Thoroughly rinse potatoes and slice them into precise, thin rounds approximately quarter-inch thick for consistent cooking.
- Transfer potato slices to a spacious mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, carefully coating each slice for maximum flavor.
- Arrange the seasoned potato rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spread in a single layer without overlapping to promote even crisping.
- Generously distribute freshly grated parmesan cheese across the surface of each potato round, creating a flavorful and crispy exterior.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and crisp edges that indicate perfect doneness.
- Once removed from the oven, optionally sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the potato rounds to add a burst of color and herbaceous flavor before serving immediately.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for perfectly uniform potato rounds that cook evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.
- For extra crispy texture, pat potato slices dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- Replace parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version that still delivers rich, savory flavor.
- Experiment with alternative seasonings like smoked paprika, rosemary, or cayenne pepper to customize the flavor profile and keep the dish exciting.
