Ingredients
- 4–5 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups ice water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds. Place the slices in a large bowl and cover them with cold water and ice. Let the potatoes soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up in the oven. - Season the Potatoes
Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a paper towel. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Add the potatoes to a large zip-top bag with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Shake to coat evenly. - Add the Oil
Pour olive oil into the bag and shake again until the potatoes are evenly coated. - Roast
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the sheet (use two sheets if needed). Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. - Add the Parmesan
While the potatoes are hot, transfer them to a bowl. Toss with shredded and grated parmesan, parsley, and chives until evenly coated. - Serve
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, like ketchup, garlic aioli, or ranch.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes to restore their crispiness.
Pro Tips:
- Double the Recipe: If serving a crowd, use multiple baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
- Soaking the Potatoes: This step ensures crisp, non-sticky potatoes.
- Customize Your Flavor: Add chili powder for spice or swap parsley for thyme for a savory twist.
