Equipment
- Mandoline slicer or sharp knife
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone mat
- Microplane grater (for parmesan)
- Mixing bowl & brush
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley or thyme (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Wash, peel if desired, and slice thinly (about ⅛ inch). Pat dry.
- Arrange Lattice: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, overlap slices diagonally to form a crisscross lattice.
- Season: Brush with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Bake: Cook at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle finely grated parmesan immediately after baking so it melts into the lattice.
- Garnish: Top with fresh herbs and serve hot.
Notes
- Thin slices: ensure crispiness.
- Dry potatoes well: prevents sogginess.
- Don’t overcrowd pan: allows even crisping.
- Use finely grated parmesan: melts evenly into a delicate crust.
- Variations: add chili flakes for spice, swap parmesan for pecorino, or try sweet potatoes for a twist.
