Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with the melted butter mixture, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the potato slices in an overlapping, shingled pattern in the prepared baking dish or skillet. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the top.

Step 6

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
