Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, cut in ¼-inch slices
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Garnish and Cooking Aid:
- ¼ cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheets
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius), positioning the rack in the center for optimal roasting.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by whisking together extra virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, powdered onion, melted unsalted butter, flaky sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Thoroughly coat potato slices in the aromatic seasoning mixture, ensuring each slice is generously and evenly covered with the spice blend.
- Generously spray two large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray to prevent potatoes from sticking during roasting.
- Distribute the seasoned potato slices in a single, uncrowded layer across the prepared baking sheets, allowing enough space between each slice for crisp edges and even browning.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the potato slices to enhance their golden color and add an extra layer of savory flavor.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through to ensure uniform cooking and achieving a perfect balance of crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Once potatoes are golden brown and crisp, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, finishing with a vibrant garnish of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and herbaceous aroma.
