Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes (or your preferred potatoes)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato into ¼-inch thick rounds. There's no need to peel them; the skin adds flavor and texture!

      Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, sea salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to combine.

        Coat the Potato Rounds: Drizzle olive oil over the potato slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then, add the seasoning mixture to the same bowl. Toss the potato rounds gently until they are well-coated in the oil and cheese mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure maximum crispiness!

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potato rounds are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to promote even browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once crispy and golden, remove the potato rounds from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
