Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes
Coating
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris, ensuring they are clean and ready for slicing.
- Slice Potatoes: Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Make Coating Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful coating mixture.
- Coat Potatoes: Pour the olive oil mixture over the potato slices and toss until they are evenly coated with the garlic and seasoning blend.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated potatoes and gently toss to evenly distribute the cheese, enhancing flavor and forming a crispy crust.
- Arrange on Sheet: Arrange the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the crispy potatoes for a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Serve: Serve the garlic Parmesan crusted potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or snack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for best texture.
- Ensure potatoes are sliced evenly for consistent cooking.
- Parmesan cheese helps create the crispy crust but can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adjust the garlic and salt to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through baking.
- These potatoes taste best when served immediately after baking.
