Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 medium-sized Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley, sour cream, or shredded cheese
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating with cooking spray.
- Slice potatoes into uniform medallion-shaped rounds approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 centimeters) thick.
- Pour olive oil into a large mixing bowl and thoroughly coat each potato slice, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Combine grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a separate shallow dish.
- Carefully dredge each oiled potato medallion through the seasoning mixture, pressing gently to help the cheese and spices adhere completely to the surface.
- Arrange seasoned potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making certain they do not overlap.
- Sprinkle any remaining Parmesan seasoning mixture over the arranged potato medallions for extra flavor.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the medallions midway through cooking to ensure uniform golden-brown crispiness.
- Remove from oven when edges are deeply golden and crisp, with a crunchy exterior and tender interior.
- Let potato medallions rest for 2-3 minutes, then garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with sour cream or ranch dressing.
Notes
- Choose medium-sized potatoes with uniform shape for consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Pat potato slices completely dry before seasoning to help Parmesan coating adhere perfectly and create maximum crunchiness.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged for better melting and richer flavor profile.
- Space potato medallions slightly apart on baking sheet to ensure each slice gets crispy edges and even browning.
- Flip potato rounds exactly at 12-15 minute mark during baking to guarantee golden, crunchy exterior on both sides.
- Let potatoes rest 2-3 minutes after baking to allow Parmesan coating to set and become extra crispy before serving.
