Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds potatoes (such as Russet or Yukon Gold), washed and sliced into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried herbs (e.g., thyme, rosemary, or parsley)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional substitutions:

For a healthier option, replace olive oil with avocado oil.
Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter twist.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

In a large mixing bowl, add the potato slices and olive oil, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Mix gently to distribute the seasonings.

Step 3: Add Parmesan

Add grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss again. Make sure each potato slice is coated with cheese.

Step 4: Arrange and Roast

Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. This ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.

Step 5: Roast and Serve

Roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through the roasting time.

Notes

Cut Potatoes Uniformly: Ensure the potatoes are cut into equal-sized pieces for even roasting.
Use Fresh Herbs: While dried herbs work, fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary can enhance the flavor.
Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer to prevent steaming and ensure crispness.
