Baked Potato Slices
These Baked Potato Slices are crispy on the edges, tender in the center, and perfectly seasoned. A simple yet delicious side dish or appetizer that pairs beautifully with any main course or can be served with your favorite dips for snacking
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
- Shredded cheese or sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Slice potatoes: Cut potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds. Try to keep them evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Arrange: Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, without overlapping.
- Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and centers are tender.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve warm with dips like sour cream, ranch, or cheese sauce if desired
Notes
- Crispier texture: For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely.
- Cheesy option: Add shredded cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Potato variety: Yukon Gold or baby potatoes also work great.
