Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Sliced baked potatoes combine the best of roasted and baked potatoes. The thin slices crisp up beautifully in the oven while the base stays soft and creamy. With just a few ingredients, you’ll get maximum flavor, texture, and presentation.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese or shredded cheddar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. - Prep the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients. Slice each potato thinly—about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick—being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. You can place the potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way down. - Season and Oil
In a small bowl, mix olive oil or melted butter with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Brush the mixture generously over the sliced potatoes, making sure it seeps into the crevices.
