Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a cooling rack with paper towels.
Scrub and wash the 2 large russet potatoes well, then pat them dry. Slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch thick slices with a sharp kitchen knife or a mandolin.
Rinse the potato slices under cold water to remove the excess starch. Spread the slices out on a clean dish towel; pat the surfaces dry.
Add the potato slices and the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to a large bowl. Toss the potato slices gently to coat them with oil.
Lay the slices out on the prepared baking sheet so that they're touching but not overlapping. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the salt and the 1 teaspoon black pepper over the potatoes.

Roast the potatoes until the slices are browned and crispy, about 40 minutes—use tongs midway through the baking to flip the slices over.
Once they're crispy, transfer the slices to a paper towel lined cooling rack. Blot off the excess oil from the surface of the potato slices.

Once they're cool enough to handle, arrange the roasted potato slices flat on a serving tray.
Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of salt over the potatoes. For the 1¼ cups bacon Jam, warmedop each potato slice with about 2 teaspoons of the jam
Use a grater to shave 2 ounces Parmesan cheese over the tops of the bacon jam on each potato slice. They're ready to serve!
Makes about 30 bites, depending on the thickness of slices.
