How to Make Rondelles de Pommes de Terre au Four au Fromage
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds—about ¼ inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier they will become in the oven. Place the slices in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
Step 2: Season and Arrange
Add garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the potatoes, and toss again until everything is well seasoned. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the slices do not overlap, as this will help them bake evenly.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges. You may want to flip the potato slices halfway through baking for an even crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of each potato slice. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve hot. You can also serve them with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra creamy bite.
