Instructions

- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Potatoes:
- Toss potato rounds with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.

- Make Cheese Mixture:
