Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper powder
Additional Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon corn starch or potato starch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a sizzling 200°C (400°F), ensuring a perfectly heated environment for crispy potato transformation.
- Meticulously wash and peel potatoes, then slice them into uniform thin wedges or slices to guarantee even cooking and optimal crunchiness.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine potato slices with aromatic minced garlic, generous Parmesan cheese, fragrant oregano, and a subtle kick of red pepper powder. Thoroughly toss to achieve complete ingredient distribution.
- Dust the potato mixture with corn starch or potato starch, creating a delicate protective layer that enhances crispiness. Drizzle olive oil and gently massage to ensure comprehensive coating.
- Create a crispy exterior by rolling each potato slice in bread crumbs, pressing firmly to guarantee a robust, golden-brown crust on both sides.
- Strategically arrange coated potato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining spacing to prevent steaming. Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway to achieve uniform golden perfection and irresistible crunch.
- For an indulgent touch, craft a luxurious cheese sauce by creating a roux with melted butter and flour, gradually incorporating milk until silky smooth. Fold in Parmesan, seasoning with salt and pepper for a decadent accompaniment.
Notes
- Boost crispiness by ensuring potato slices are thoroughly dried before seasoning to prevent soggy results.
- Experiment with alternative cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano for unique flavor variations.
- Transform into a gluten-free dish by substituting bread crumbs with ground almond meal or gluten-free panko.
- Elevate nutrition by leaving potato skins on, which provide extra fiber and minerals while reducing food waste.
