Yield 5 hungry people

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 good sized baking potatoes, peeled and sliced in 1/3 to 1/2 inch rounds
3 - 4 T olive oil
Generous 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese*
Salt and Pepper to taste
*It's important to use finely grated, very hard parmesan cheese in this because if the strands are too long or too soft, everything will stick - this is not potatoes au gratin!

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400F. Put potatoes and olive oil in a bowl and toss until potatoes are well coated. If necessary, add a bit more oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss a bit more. Put potatoes in a single layer in several 13X9 pans or jelly roll pans or roasting pans with edges or similar trays. Sprinkle liberally with grated cheese, turning to coat both sides. Cook about 15-20 minutes or until brown and crispy on the bottom. Turn over potato slices and return to oven until slices are brown on the other side, about 10-20 minutes depending on the thickness and your preference of color. Serve plain or with ketchup.
