Sliced Baked Potatoes
A simple, comforting side dish that elevates humble potatoes into crispy, flavorful slices.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large large potatoes Any type of potato can work, but russets are preferred for crispiness.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil or melted butter.
- 1 teaspoon salt Sea salt or kosher salt can be used.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper White pepper can be used as a substitute.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic (2-3 cloves) can be substituted.
- 1 teaspoon paprika Can substitute with smoked paprika or chili powder.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash each potato thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, aiming for 1/8-inch thickness.
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Cooking
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the slices to cool for a few minutes before serving hot.
Notes
Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness. Using parchment paper can help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
