Potatoes are a beloved staple in many kitchens around the world, but when it comes to preparing them in a way that’s both simple and utterly delicious, few methods compare to this 3-step recipe. Whether you’re cooking for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion, this recipe will elevate the humble potato to a whole new level. No more complex instructions or piles of dirty dishes—just one easy recipe that brings out the best in every potato.

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Directions:
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them into thin, even rounds. The thinner the slices, the crispier they’ll be. Place the slices into a bowl.

Season and Coat: Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss the slices to evenly distribute the seasonings, making sure all the potatoes are well-seasoned.

Bake and Serve: Spread the seasoned potato slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the hot potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
