Sliced Baked Potatoes: Simple, Crispy, and Delicious
If you’re looking for a side dish that’s easy to make, visually appealing, and packed with comforting flavor, Sliced Baked Potatoes are the perfect choice. This recipe turns ordinary potatoes into crispy, golden slices that are tender on the inside and lightly crisped on the outside—a fantastic alternative to traditional baked or mashed potatoes.
Why Sliced Baked Potatoes?
Slicing potatoes before baking them helps them cook faster and get that irresistible crispy edge all around. Plus, you can customize the flavor with your favorite herbs, spices, and toppings. Whether you’re serving them alongside a juicy steak, grilled chicken, or just enjoying them on their own, sliced baked potatoes are a winner.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Medium to large potatoes (Russets or Yukon Gold work best)
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- Garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
- Optional: grated cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, or bacon bits for topping
How to Make Sliced Baked Potatoes
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot for baking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Slice them evenly into 1/4-inch thick rounds for consistent cooking.
- Season the Slices: Toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your preferred seasonings in a large bowl until each slice is well coated.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Bake Until Crispy: Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to ensure even browning. The edges should turn golden and crisp.
