🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
-
Wash and peel the potatoes (optional — you can leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients).
-
Slice the potatoes thinly, but don’t cut all the way through — you want to create accordion-like slits. Place each potato on a wooden spoon or between two chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through.
3. Season the Potatoes:
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Carefully fan out the slices of the potatoes and drizzle the seasoning mixture generously over the potatoes. Make sure to get the oil and seasoning into the slits.
4. Bake:
-
Place the prepared potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes become crispy and golden, and the inside is tender when pierced with a fork.
-
If you’d like extra crispy edges, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
5. Optional Cheese Layer:
-
During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the shredded cheese into the slits of the potatoes, allowing it to melt and become bubbly and golden.
6. Serve:
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve!
