INGREDIENTS:

4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the potatoes:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Slice the potatoes: Slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer to ensure uniform slices for even cooking.

Season the potatoes:

Toss with oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

Bake the potatoes:

Arrange on the baking sheet: Lay the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the slices are not overlapping to allow for maximum crispiness.

Roast the potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Continue baking until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Serve:

Garnish and serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
