Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or parsley), optional
- Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on.
- Slice the potatoes thinly (about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick), but don’t cut all the way through. Place a wooden spoon or chopstick on either side of the potato to help prevent slicing through completely.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or butter) with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the seasoned oil mixture over and between the slices of each potato, making sure to coat them well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender inside and crispy on the edges.
- Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Serve hot, as a side dish or snack!
