Ingredients
Scale:
4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your choice
Sour cream, green onions, or bacon bits for toppings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry.
Carefully slice the potatoes into ¼ inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional herbs until evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with olive oil. Spread the potato slices in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, add the shredded cheese on top of the slices.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve topped with your favorite toppings.
