Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large large potatoes Wash and scrub thoroughly.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice) Use your favorite cheese.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For coating the potato slices.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For added seasoning.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust based on preference.
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional) Use for presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking.
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Optionally peel them for a different texture.
  3. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  4. In a large bowl, drizzle the potato slices with olive oil. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potato slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Baking
  1. Bake the potato slices in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheese over the potato slices.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Take out of the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Consider using a dairy-free cheese alternative. Soak potato slices in cold water before seasoning for extra crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze before baking.
