(Optional additions: crispy bacon bits, cheddar cheese, or a sprinkle of chili flakes!)
Step by step instructions
1. Prepare the potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean (leave the skin on so they’ll be crispy!).
Cut carefully: Place a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons (this prevents you from cutting it all the way through). Make thin slices (about 6 mm apart).
2. Season and butter
In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and thyme.
Brush generously on top and between the potato slices.
3. Cook to perfection
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 40 minutes, then brush with butter.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using) and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve and devour!
