Parmesan Potatoes

I have no idea what recipe(s) this evolved from, but we love it. Shawn is a meat and potatoes kind of guy and this is one more good way to fix them. Its very easy to make. I have not put any amounts down for the salt and pepper---you know how much you like. Reduce or enlarge depending on how many people you are service. I also like this recipe made with sweet potatoes or carrots.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Spray cookie sheet with pan spray.
3. Wash and slice red or gold potatoes lengthwise into about 4 pieces, roughly 1/4" thick. Use however many you think you will eat--I usually make a cookie sheet full and have enough for 2 meals, about 5 large potatoes. Also, I sometimes use a ripple slicer (Pampered Chef) and that makes them look really pretty.
4. Melt some margarine or butter (or use olive oil) and sprinkle it, spoon it, brush it over all the slices. I use about 3 T. for a whole sheet of potatoes.
5. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
6. Grate some Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. Potatoes should be cooked thru and cheese on top will be golden brown.
