Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour melted butter into a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch pan.
- In a plastic bag, combine flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Shake a few potato slices at a time in the bag to coat with the flour mixture.
- Place the coated potato slices in the melted butter in the pan.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning to taste over the potato rounds.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, try soaking the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before coating them. If you don’t have Parmesan, Pecorino Romano can be a great alternative. You can also experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor. If you prefer a lighter version, use olive oil instead of butter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these potato rounds ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the potato rounds and coat them with the flour mixture ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before placing them in the oven to ensure even cooking.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
