2 lb russet potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried dill
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, optional, for slight heat
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, optional

Steps

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pat dry. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, leaving the skin on for texture and nutrients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Place potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the herb seasoning blend over the potatoes and toss again until all slices are well coated.
Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping if needed.
Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges begin to brown and crisp.
If using sharp cheddar cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the potatoes and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and serve warm, garnished with fresh chives or additional fresh parsley if desired.

Chef's notes

This recipe is intentionally salt-free; all seasoning comes from dried herbs and spices, so do not add salt without tasting first. Slice the potatoes to an even 1/4-inch thickness throughout; uneven slices will cook at different rates, leaving some underdone while others overburn at the edges. The single biggest mistake is crowding the pan: overlapping slices steam instead of roast, so use two baking sheets if needed to keep slices in a near-single layer. For crispier results, extend the bake by 3 to 5 minutes after the cheese step (or at the end if skipping cheese) and watch for deep golden-brown edges as your doneness cue; internal potato temp should reach at least 205°F for fully tender centers. The herb blend (dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne) can be mixed ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 months; substitute fresh dill or fresh chives for the dried herbs using roughly triple the amount by volume.
