Rondelles de Pommes de Terre au Four au Fromage

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Prepare the Potatoes:
4. Wash and peel the potatoes (peeling is optional, depending on your preference).
5. Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds. Try to make the slices as even as possible for consistent cooking.
6. Season the Potatoes:
7. In a large bowl, toss the potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme or rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
8. Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
10. Arrange the seasoned potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
11. Bake the Potatoes:
12. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the edges.
13. Add Cheese:
14. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
15. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potato rounds.
16. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
17. Garnish and Serve:
18. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
19. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
20. Serve warm.

Tips:

• Crispier Potatoes: For extra crispiness, you can place the potato rounds on a wire rack set over the baking sheet, allowing air to circulate around them.
• Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, gouda, or a blend for different flavors.

Enjoy your delicious and cheesy baked potato rounds!
