Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 g) russet potatoes, cut in ¼-inch slices
- 4 tbsps (56 g) grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup (15 g) chopped fresh parsley
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheets
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C), positioning the rack centrally to ensure optimal roasting conditions for the potatoes.
- Seasoning Fusion: Whisk extra virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, powdered onion, melted unsalted butter, flaky sea salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl to create a robust, aromatic coating.
- Potato Coating: Thoroughly toss potato slices in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each slice is completely and evenly covered with the flavorful spice blend.
- Baking Setup: Spray two large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray, then arrange potato slices in a single, uncrowded layer to promote crisp edges and even browning.
- Cheese Enhancement: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the potato slices to create a golden, savory crust that will intensify the overall flavor profile.
- Roasting Process: Place baking sheets in the preheated oven, roasting for 15-20 minutes and rotating sheets midway to guarantee uniform cooking and achieve a perfect crispy exterior with a tender interior.
- Finishing Touch: Remove potatoes from the oven when golden and crisp, transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant, herbaceous note to the dish.
Notes
- Optimize Oven Placement: Center rack ensures even heat distribution for perfectly roasted potatoes with consistent golden-brown edges.
- Master Seasoning Technique: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a uniform, flavor-packed coating that clings to every potato slice.
- Prevent Overcrowding Strategy: Spread potato slices in a single layer with space between each piece to guarantee maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Cheese Finale Tip: Sprinkle extra Parmesan in the final moments of roasting to create a delectable crispy cheese crust that elevates the entire dish.
