Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons chives (chopped)
- 2 cups ice
Instructions
- Prepare potato base by thoroughly washing russet potatoes and slicing them uniformly into ¼-inch thick rounds, ensuring consistent cooking and texture.
- Submerge potato slices in ice-cold water for 30 minutes to extract excess starch, which promotes ultimate crispiness during roasting.
- Drain potatoes completely and meticulously pat dry using paper towels to eliminate moisture, critical for achieving crisp exterior.
- Transfer potato slices into a zip-top bag, incorporating garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper for robust seasoning.
- Drizzle olive oil into the bag and vigorously shake to ensure comprehensive and even coating of each potato slice.
- Heat oven to 450°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal heat distribution and easy cleanup.
- Arrange seasoned potato slices in a single, non-overlapping layer to guarantee uniform roasting and maximum crispness.
- Roast potatoes for 35-40 minutes, rotating halfway through to develop golden-brown coloration on both sides.
- Monitor potatoes closely during final 10 minutes to prevent burning, adjusting time based on individual oven characteristics.
- Immediately transfer roasted potatoes to a large mixing bowl upon removal from oven.
- Sprinkle shredded and grated parmesan cheese over hot potatoes, allowing slight melting from residual heat.
- Gently fold in fresh parsley and chives, ensuring herbs and cheese distribute evenly across potato slices.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by ranch dressing or ketchup for additional flavor enhancement.
Notes
- Soak potatoes in ice water to remove excess starch, ensuring maximum crispiness during roasting.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before seasoning to prevent soggy results and achieve perfect golden-brown edges.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent sticking, creating evenly roasted potato slices.
