🧂 Ingredients
- 4 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (or olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
- ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes. Using a sharp knife, cut thin slices about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick — not all the way through if you want a Hasselback style, or fully through if you want round slices.
Step 3: Season the Potatoes
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs.
Brush or drizzle the mixture evenly over the sliced potatoes, making sure each piece is coated well.
Step 4: Bake
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy and the centers are tender.
Step 5: Add Cheese (Optional)
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor and crispiness.
Step 6: Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
