Ingredients
Potatoes:
4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Seasoning:
3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted), 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Topping:
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through. Slice the potatoes into thin, even slices (about 1/8 inch), stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom.
- Make the seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Brush the mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it gets between the slices.
- Bake: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45–55 minutes, brushing occasionally with more butter mixture, until crispy edges and tender centers. In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the tops.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Customize with shredded cheddar, bacon bits, or sour cream for a loaded version.
- Pairs well with steak, chicken, or roasted veggies.
