Crispy Parmesan Potatoes with Garlic & Herbs

Instructions

1. Prepare and Par-Boil the Potatoes

1. Slice: Wash the potatoes well and slice them into $1/2$-inch thick rounds.
2. Par-Boil: Place the sliced potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they are fork-tender on the edges but still firm in the center.
3. Dry: Drain the potatoes immediately and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to air dry for 5-10 minutes. Removing excess moisture is key to crispiness.

2. Season the Crust

1. Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, pepper, and Panko breadcrumbs (if using).
2. Toss Potatoes: Add the par-boiled, dried potato slices to the bowl. Toss gently until every slice is evenly coated with the Parmesan and oil mixture.
