Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- ¼ cup sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Wash and slice the potatoes into thin, even slices (about ¼ inch thick) without cutting all the way through. You can place a wooden spoon on either side of the potato to prevent cutting through.
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter, making sure to get in between the slices.
- Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender inside.
- Sprinkle cheese over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with sour cream.
