Ingredients:
- 7 potatoes (keep the skin on, they’re washed and ready to go!)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, more to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions:
- Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and greasing a large baking dish. This ensures nothing sticks and your potatoes come out perfectly.
- Mix Melted Magic: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and olive oil. This mixture will help your seasonings cling to the potatoes and add a delightful richness.
- Slice Smartly: Clean and pat dry the potatoes. To slice them, place a potato on a cutting board between two chopsticks (this stops you from cutting all the way through). Carefully slice at regular intervals. Repeat with all potatoes.
- Brush & Arrange: Place the potatoes cut-side up in your prepared dish. Gently brush them with your butter and oil mixture, making sure to get between the slices.
- Season Generously: In another bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle this flavorful blend over and between the potato slices.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer your dish to the oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and crispy. Don’t forget to baste occasionally with the pan juices to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Rest & Serve: Once done, let the potatoes rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This little pause lets them soak up all the glorious flavors fully.
