Notes

  • Potato Selection: Use small varieties like Yukon Gold or Baby Potatoes for the best texture and flavor. If using large potatoes, adjust the slicing and baking time accordingly.
  • Parmesan Tips: Freshly grated Parmesan works best for optimal melting and crispiness. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, which may contain anti-caking agents that affect texture.
  • Spice Variations: Feel free to customize the spices. Add a pinch of cayenne for heat or smoked paprika for a deeper flavor profile.
  • Crispiness Hack: For extra crisp edges, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat dry before coating them with seasonings.
  • Storage and Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
  • Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the potatoes up to the seasoning stage a few hours in advance, then bake them fresh just before serving.
  • Dip Pairing Suggestions: These potato rounds pair beautifully with dips such as garlic aioli, marinara, or a tangy sour cream and chive blend.
