Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, but do not cut all the way through. A wooden spoon or chopsticks placed alongside the potato can help stop your knife.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, making sure to get some between the slices.
- Add Spices: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Use a brush or your hands to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown, and the inside is tender.
- Optional Additions: During the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes for a cheesy topping.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve hot. These potatoes pair well with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dip!
