Description
Baked Potato Slices are a simple, crispy, and flavorful side dish that pairs well with just about any main course. These thinly sliced potatoes are oven-roasted to golden perfection and can be customized with your favorite herbs, cheeses, or dipping sauces. They’re perfect for snacking, entertaining, or as a lighter alternative to traditional fries.
Ingredients
3 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crisp and the centers are tender. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the slices during the last 5 minutes of baking and allow it to melt. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra crispiness, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly. Yukon gold potatoes also work well and have a slightly buttery flavor. You can top the slices with sour cream, green onions, or crumbled bacon for a loaded version. Leftovers reheat best in the oven or air fryer to maintain their texture.
