Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup sour cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To make clean-up easier later, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water, scrubbing the skins to remove any dirt. Slice them into rounds that are about 1/4-inch thick. Keeping the skin on adds a delightful texture and extra nutrients to the dish.

      Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the potato rounds along with a pinch of salt and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook for around 5-6 minutes, just until they are slightly tender, yet still firm enough to hold their shape. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

        Mix the Toppings: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the grated sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, sour cream, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir this mixture until everything is thoroughly blended.

          Assemble: Lightly brush both sides of each potato slice with olive oil to enhance the flavor and promote crispiness during baking. Arrange the potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Generously spoon the cheese mixture over the top of each potato round, ensuring each slice is well covered.

            Bake: Insert the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling, melting, and has developed a lovely golden brown color. The edges of the potato rounds should become crispy and inviting.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, take the rounds out of the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant touch. Enjoy these delicious potato rounds hot as a savory snack or an appetizing starter!
