Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

3. Arrange the potato slices in the skillet, slightly overlapping. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Parmesan as you layer.

Dry the potato slices well to prevent sticking and sogginess.
Adjust garlic and herbs to your taste — rosemary and thyme add great depth.
