Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potato slices and toss again so every round is coated with cheese.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the potato rounds out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. Sprinkle any leftover cheese from the bowl on top of the potatoes for extra flavor.
Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the rounds halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness and golden edges.
Optional Broil: For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes during the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top if desired. Serve warm with sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the potato rounds for the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
These potato rounds make an excellent base for bite-sized appetizers—top with sour cream and chives or sprinkle with bacon crumbles for added flavor.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a buttery texture or red potatoes for a firmer bite.
