Here’s a simple and tasty Sliced Baked Potatoes recipe — crispy on the edges, tender inside 🥔✨
Sliced Baked Potatoes
Serves: 2–4
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, thyme, or Parmesan
Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- Wash and peel potatoes (peeling optional).
- Slice potatoes about ¼ inch thick. Try to keep slices even for uniform cooking.
2. Season
- Place slices in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Toss to coat evenly.
3. Bake
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on edges.
4. Serve
- Serve warm as a side dish.
- Optional toppings: fresh herbs, shredded cheese, sour cream, or a drizzle of garlic butter.
Tips for Perfect Baked Potato Slices
- Even thickness ensures all slices cook at the same rate.
- Tossing in oil helps get golden, crispy edges.
- You can parboil for 5 minutes before baking for extra tenderness.
Variations
- Hasselback-style: slice potatoes thinly but leave base intact, drizzle with butter, and bake.
- Spicy: add cayenne or chili powder.
- Cheesy: sprinkle Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of baking.
If you want, I can also give an air fryer version that’s faster and extra crispy.
