Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (sliced into rounds or wedges)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Wash and slice the potatoes into evenly sized rounds or wedges to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking dish. Make sure they are not overlapping too much so they can crisp up properly.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown on the outside and tender inside.
For extra crispiness, you can broil them for the last 2–3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot alongside grilled meats, chicken, or fish. They also work great as a snack with dipping sauces like garlic aioli or ketchup.
This dish is rich, cheesy, and full of flavor with minimal effort—perfect for turning everyday potatoes into something truly special.
