Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (medium-sized, sliced into ¼ inch/0.6 cm rounds)
- ½ cup (120 ml/4 fl oz) Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsps (30 ml/1 fl oz) olive oil
- Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
- Shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Slicing: Create uniform potato medallions by cutting into 1/4-inch thick rounds, ensuring consistent size for even cooking.
- Coating: Toss potato slices in olive oil, thoroughly covering each piece to promote crisp texture and assist seasoning adherence.
- Seasoning Blend: Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Dredging: Carefully press each oiled potato slice into the seasoning mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage of cheese and spices.
- Baking Setup: Arrange seasoned potato medallions in a single, non-overlapping layer on the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling any remaining seasoning mixture over the top.
- Roasting: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping midway to achieve uniform golden-brown crispiness with a crunchy exterior and tender interior.
- Finishing: Remove from oven when edges are deeply golden, allow 2-3 minutes of resting, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside sour cream or ranch dressing.
Notes
- Slice Uniformly: Cut potatoes precisely to 1/4 inch thickness for consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Maximize Cheese Adhesion: Press seasoning mixture firmly onto oiled potato slices to create a perfect crispy coating.
- Prevent Soggy Edges: Arrange medallions in single layer without overlapping to ensure maximum crispiness and even browning.
- Enhance Flavor Boost: Sprinkle extra Parmesan seasoning mixture after arranging for an intense, zesty flavor profile.
