Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, scrubbed (but not peeled)
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon of McCormick’s garlic powder, onion powder & pepper
- ½ teaspoon of parsley
- Morton salt to taste
- 4 tablespoons of fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and lining a baking pan with parchment paper. This will prevent the potatoes from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Slice and Season: Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, McCormick’s garlic powder, onion powder & pepper seasoning, parsley, and two tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Bake to Perfection: Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Remember to flip the potatoes halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
- Finishing Touches: Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the remaining two tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the top. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the crispy Parmesan potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot alongside your favorite main dishes and watch as everyone devours this irresistible side dish.
Notes
- Serve Hot: These Parmesan potatoes are best served hot straight from the oven to preserve their crispy texture and cheesy goodness.
- Garnish with Herbs: For an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal, garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme before serving.
- Pair with Dipping Sauce: Serve alongside your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or marinara sauce for an extra flavor boost.
- Store Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
- Reheating Tip: To maintain their crispiness when reheating, spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.
- Make Ahead: Prep the potatoes in advance by slicing and seasoning them, then store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake. This makes mealtime prep a breeze!
- Serve with Breakfast: These Parmesan potatoes make a delicious addition to breakfast or brunch alongside eggs, bacon, and toast.
- Pair with Grilled Meats: Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a complete and satisfying meal.
