2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Large bowl
• Knife
• Cutting board

Tips and Shortcuts

• Uniform Slices: Ensure the potato slices are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
• Preheat the Baking Sheet: For extra crispy slices, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before arranging the potatoes.
• Herb Variations: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for added flavor.
• Cheese Lovers: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on the slices during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Recipe Swaps and Variations

• Sweet Potatoes: Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a sweeter, nutrient-packed version.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
• Vegan Option: Ensure the recipe is vegan by using vegan-friendly cheese substitutes if adding cheese.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or until heated through.
