Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a smoky flavor)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

¼ cup olive oil (for drizzling)

Cooking spray (optional for extra crispiness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water, scrubbing them to remove any dirt. Slice each potato into ¼ inch thick rounds, making sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.

      Make the Coating Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

        Coat the Potato Rounds: In a large bowl, add the potato rounds. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the potatoes. Toss gently until each round is coated with oil, which will help the coating adhere and promote crispiness.

          Coat with Cheese Mixture: Take each potato round and dip it into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Press lightly to help the mixture stick. Arrange the coated rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for air circulation.

            Spray for Extra Crispiness: For an added layer of crunch, lightly spray the tops of the coated potato rounds with cooking spray if desired.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, carefully flip the potato rounds to ensure they cook evenly. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

                Serve and Garnish: Once baked, remove the potato rounds from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, spicy aioli, or ranch.
