FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, red or russet potatoes work just as well; just adjust baking time slightly.
Can I use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder?
Fresh garlic can burn at high temperatures, so garlic powder is recommended.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes, cook at 375°F for about 14–16 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
You can slice and season the potatoes in advance, but bake them fresh for the best texture.
Do I need to peel the potatoes?
No, the skins add texture and flavor, but you can peel them if preferred.
Can I make them dairy-free?
Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a dairy-free option.
Why are my potatoes not crispy?
Make sure they’re sliced evenly, not overcrowded on the pan, and baked on high heat.
Can I use pre-shredded Parmesan?
Yes, though freshly grated Parmesan melts and crisps better.
Can I add herbs like rosemary or thyme?
Absolutely — fresh or dried herbs add great flavor.
What can I serve with these potatoes?
They pair perfectly with grilled chicken, steak, or roasted vegetables.
