Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Serving:
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 425°F and positioning a parchment-lined baking sheet for optimal potato roasting.
- Thoroughly cleanse baby potatoes, then slice into uniform 1/4-inch rounds to ensure consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by combining Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and optional paprika in a mixing bowl.
- Massage potato slices with olive oil, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum crispiness.
- Generously coat each oiled potato slice in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to secure a robust, adherent crust.
- Arrange coated potato rounds in a single, uncrowded layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote even browning.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway to achieve golden, crisp edges on both sides.
- Remove from oven when potatoes reach a beautiful golden-brown color and present a satisfyingly crunchy exterior.
- Transfer to a serving platter and accompany with ketchup or preferred dipping sauce for an irresistible appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Choose smaller potatoes for more uniform slices and better crispiness.
- Pat potato slices completely dry before coating to ensure maximum crunch and prevent sogginess.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pecorino or asiago for unique flavor profiles.
- Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for a more intense, robust taste sensation.
- Swap panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives for celiac or gluten-sensitive diners.
- Add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a dairy-free, vegan-friendly cheese-like flavor.
- Adjust seasoning ratios to match personal taste preferences, increasing garlic or herbs as desired.
- For extra crispy results, place potato slices on a wire rack over the baking sheet to allow air circulation.
