Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes scrubbed and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives optional
- Ranch dressing or sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
-
Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each slice.
-
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes over and continue baking for 8–10 minutes, or until the slices are tender and lightly golden around the edges.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle each potato round with cheddar cheese and a little Parmesan.
-
Return to the oven for 2–4 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives, if desired, and serve immediately with ranch dressing or sour cream for dipping.
