One potato, two potato
Here are a couple of really easy potato ideas when you’re hankerin’ for some spuds. The first one I’ll call “rosemary potato chips,” because they’re almost like eating potato chips flavored with rosemary. The second recipe is parmesan potatoes because they’re crunchy on the outside with parmesan cheese goodness. For the potatoes in the first photo, I used a mandoline, and sliced the pieces about 1/8 inch thick – thicker than a real potato chip. You can also slice them by hand if you haven’t got a mandoline, but it’s hard to get them uniform. Using a pastry brush, swipe a thin layer of olive oil on a cookie sheet. Place the potatoes on the cookie sheet and turn them over once to coat with the oil. They shouldn’t be drenched in oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and minced fresh rosemary. Bake in a high oven – about 425 degrees, watching them carefully. They will quickly turn from golden brown to burned if you’re not paying attention. The ones close to the edges always brown first, so I removed them and put the pan back in the oven to finish the rest. 
These parmesan potatoes are simple to make too. I have two friends named Jan, each of whom served me a version of this on different occasions. I’m not sure this recipe is how they make it exactly, since I just kind of guessed at it. You can experiment with different herbs or seasonings. Start out with a zip lock plastic bag. Pour in two tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves, 1/8 tsp. paprika and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Cut the potatoes into chunks and place inside the bag. Seal the bag shut, then mix everything together inside the bag so that the potatoes are coated evenly. Place the potatoes on a cookie sheet that has been lightly greased with olive oil and bake at 425 degrees about 30 to 40 minutes, turning them once midway during the baking. Printable recipes here

I am addicted to potatoes! Both version looks mighty scrummy.
Cheers,

I don't think has ever been a potato I would refuse, as a child I even ate them raw. Both of these recipes would be very welcome at my table.
Both of these look soooo delicious and easy too-thank you.
I am on a potato kick too and welcome these recipes and ideas!
…..and how about frying them in a little duck fat?
Oh baby…I have never met a potato I did not love!
Love the plastic bag idea…I will try that next time I roast my potatoes…
Yours look particularly gorgeous!
Potatoes and rosemary are the perfect pairing. Will try the zip-loc Parmesan cheese tonight with a pork roastw/ balsamic I'm making. You just completed my dinner!
These would tempt even the strongest of wills. And especially someone like me, who is pretty darn weak, when it comes to the wondrous spud. I'd be all over either dish.
Oh my, these potato recipes look fantastic! Out of all the variations I've had on potatoes, I don't think I've encountered one that I didn't like.
let me find a spot to sit – looks like were having some super duper spuds…love the parmesan version…mmmmm
Both recipes sound great and very easy to make.
Oh, I'm making those rosemary potato chips with a meatloaf I have cooking right now. Off to get my mandoline, thanks for completing my dinner too!
My family loves potatoes so I'm glad to have a couple more easy recipes. Thanks!
I love to see that you have some wonderful kids in the neighbourhood! It is so important for kids these days to give as well as receive. A heartwarming post!
Potatoes have to be the best comfort food, in my opinion and the rosemary potato 'chips' sound fabulous. Both wouldn't last long in my home, that is for sure.
three potato, four! They look delicious.
Potato chips are my guilty pleasure. You just lightened it up for me. Actually, both spud recipes are simple and I'd eat them all. You do inspire me!
Potatoes with cheese are always a hit with my family. They look yummy! Thanks!
I love potatoes, I bet these are wonderful!
adoro le patate cucinate in qualsiasi modo! e questi tuoi sono tra i preferiti! Un bacione

Both the recipes sounds yummy and easy, I will try them, thanks.
I'm a big potato fan! I love making my own potato chips as I can control the added salt. Thye are so much better than store bought chips!
I am cooking potatoes right now! I wish I had seen this post before I started- these look delicious!
I've never met a potato I didn't like.
Can't wait to try these recipes.
YUM, potaotes!!!
Looks yummy! I make a similar dish mixing white potatoes with sweet under the broiler lightly coated in oil.
The Potato Pizza recipe noted at the bottom of your post looks scrumptous. I have gotten out of practice in the past 3 years with working dough into pizzas. I started to get back into it once and was surprised how I'd lost my touch for the traditional round crust. My pan with tiny holes usually covers any flaws but practice makes perfect. The rectangle pan approach is an alternative I've never tried. Fingers crossed that it is more fool proof than the round.
Both are terrific recipes to have on hand. They look delicious and I'm sure they are tasty. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
Delicious looking potatoes! I am so glad you are back blogging more often.
potatoes, not matter how you slice em or bake em are wonderful.
I am not sure which I will try first – both look fabulous! Rosemary and parmesan both add a lot of flavor.
I would love either of those versions of potatoes right about now … delicious!
