I coated the potato slices with a breadcrumb mixture comprising breadcrumbs, parmesan, minced garlic, thyme, marjoram, sage, salt and freshly ground black pepper (and minus the cayenne pepper: personal taste preference) and then I sprinkled them with olive oil and baked them in the oven on lightly oiled trays for about 10 minutes, turning them after about 5 minutes. Really yummy!
