Cheesy Baked Potato Rounds

Ingredients :

• 4, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
• 2 tablespoons
• 1 teaspoon
• 1/2 teaspoon
• 1/2 teaspoon
• 1/2 teaspoon
• 1 1/2 cups (Cheddar, Mozzarella, or a blend)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Optional, for garnish

Instructions :

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the potato rounds in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potato rounds and add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
3. Arrange the seasoned potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip the potato rounds halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides are evenly browned.
4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the potato rounds. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Remove the cheesy potato rounds from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and optional chives over the top of the potato rounds for a burst of color and flavor. Transfer the cheesy baked potato rounds to a serving platter and enjoy them warm.
