Unlike traditional baked potatoes served whole, sliced baked potatoes offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors.

### How to Make Sliced Baked Potatoes
1. **Preheat your oven:** Aim for around 400°F (200°C) for perfectly crispy edges.
2. **Prepare the potatoes:** Wash and thinly slice your potatoes, about 1/4 inch thick. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
3. **Season:** Toss the slices in olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like.
4. **Arrange on a baking sheet:** Lay the slices in a single layer with a little space between them so they crisp evenly.
5. **Bake:** Cook for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
6. **Add cheese if desired:** For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
