Parmesan Potato Coins

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or coins.
  • Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from turning brown. Pat them dry with paper towels before proceeding.

3. Prepare the Coating:

  • In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4. Coat the Potato Coins:

  • In a separate bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil to coat evenly.
  • Dredge each potato slice in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Arrange the coated potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake the Potato Coins:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potato coins halfway through baking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

6. Garnish and Serve:

  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
  • Serve warm as a side dish or snack.

Tips:

  • Even Cooking: Make sure the potato slices are of uniform thickness for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Crispier Coins: For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the potato coins with cooking spray before baking.
  • Variations: Experiment with different seasonings or cheeses to suit your taste preferences.

Enjoy your Parmesan potato coins with a dipping sauce or as a tasty addition to any meal!
