Cheesy Garlic Roasted Potato Disks

Cheesy Garlic Roasted Potato Disks

  • Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Cook time: 25-30 minutes

  • Servings: 4


Ingredients

  • Potatoes: 3-4 large Yukon Gold potatoes (sliced into 1-inch thick rounds)

  • Butter: 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter

  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp

  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)

  • Cheese: 1 cup shredded Parmesan or Mozzarella (or a mix)

  • Seasoning: ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp dried oregano

  • Garnish: Fresh chopped parsley


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thick rounds (about 1 inch thick).

  2. Season the Base: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano.

  3. The First Roast: Arrange the potato disks on the baking sheet. Brush both sides of each potato generously with the garlic butter mixture. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and starting to turn golden.

  4. Add the “Melting” Cheese: Remove the tray from the oven. Using the back of a spoon or a small glass, gently press down on the center of each potato to create a slight indentation. Spoon a generous amount of shredded cheese into the center of each disk.

  5. Final Broil: Place the potatoes back into the oven for another 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and has formed a crispy, golden-brown crust around the edges.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle immediately with fresh parsley. Let them sit for 2 minutes so the cheese sets before serving.
