- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

★Instructions
Preheat the Oven*
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the Potatoes*
Place the potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Season the Potatoes*
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potato slices and toss again to coat evenly.
Arrange on Baking Sheet*
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake the Potatoes*
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Add Cheese*
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potato slices.
Bake Again*
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve*
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Tips*
- For an extra kick, you can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
- Serve with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce for an added flavor.
Enjoy!
