Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4 as a side dish)
4 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold)
3 tbsp melted butter (or olive oil)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
1 tsp dried thyme (or rosemary)
½ cup shredded Parmesan (optional but highly recommended!)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
(Optional add-ins: crispy bacon bits, cheddar cheese, or a sprinkle of chili flakes!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub potatoes clean (leave skins on for crispiness!).
Slice carefully: Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons (this prevents cutting all the way through). Make thin slices (about ¼-inch apart).
2. Season & Butter Up
In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
Brush generously over and between potato slices.
3. Bake to Perfection
Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 40 minutes, then brush with more butter.
Sprinkle Parmesan (if using) and bake 10-15 more minutes until golden and crispy.
4. Serve & Devour!
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with sour cream, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping!

🧀 Cheesy upgrade: Stuff slices with cheddar before baking.
