Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Equipment
- Baking tray
- Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Spatula
- Parchment paper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into evenly thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick. Keeping the slices the same thickness ensures even cooking and crisp edges.
Step 3: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Add the potato slices and toss until each slice is evenly coated.
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and gently mix again so the cheese adheres to the potatoes.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Tray
Place the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Avoid overlapping the slices, as this helps them become evenly crispy.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each slice using a spatula.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown with crispy edges and the Parmesan has formed a crunchy crust.
Step 6: Garnish
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the potato slices to cool for 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 7: Serve
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These potato slices pair perfectly with ranch dressing, garlic aioli, sour cream, ketchup, spicy mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for Perfect Crispy Potato Slices
- Slice the potatoes evenly using a mandoline for consistent cooking.
- Pat the potato slices dry before seasoning to help them crisp better.
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts and browns more evenly than pre-shredded cheese.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking tray, as proper airflow helps the potatoes crisp.
- For extra crunch, broil the potato slices for the final 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Storage
Allow any leftovers to cool completely before storing.

To reheat, bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 8–10 minutes or cook in an air fryer for 4–5 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as the potatoes may become soft.
