Ingredients:
For the Potato Rounds:
Large Potatoes: 4, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
For the Topping:
Shredded Cheese: 1 1/2 cups (Cheddar, Mozzarella, or a blend)
Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Chopped Chives: Optional, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with
olive oil.
Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the potato rounds in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato rounds and add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Bake the Potato Rounds:
Arrange the seasoned potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they
are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and
crispy. Flip the potato rounds halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides are evenly
browned.
Add the Cheese:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the potato
rounds.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is
melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove the cheesy potato rounds from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and optional chives over the top of the potato rounds for a burst
of color and flavor.
Transfer the cheesy baked potato rounds to a serving platter and enjoy them warm.
Tips for Perfect Cheesy Baked Potato Rounds:
Potato Choice: Use large, starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture.
Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as Gouda, Parmesan,
or Monterey Jack to suit your taste preferences.
Crispiness: To achieve extra crispy potato rounds, you can soak the potato slices in cold water for 30
minutes before seasoning and baking. Pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel before proceeding
with the recipe.
Serving Suggestions: Serve the potato rounds with a variety of dipping sauces such as sour cream,
ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for added flavor.
