Why Roasted Potato Slices?

Roasted potatoes are a classic comfort food. When cut into slices, they cook quickly and evenly, giving you that irresistible combination of crisp edges and soft, fluffy centers. Roasting enhances the natural flavors of the potatoes, and with just a few simple ingredients, you can turn this humble vegetable into a showstopper side dish.

Plus, you can easily customize the flavors by adding different seasonings and herbs, making roasted potato slices a versatile dish that can pair with any main course.

How to Make Roasted Potato Slices

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes work well)
2 tbsp olive oil (or any vegetable oil)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika (smoked paprika adds a nice flavor)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Fresh or dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley are great options)
Optional: Parmesan cheese or grated cheese for topping

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roasting at a high temperature ensures your potatoes get crispy on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients or peel them if you prefer a smoother bite. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices uniform in size so they cook evenly.
Season the Potatoes: Place the potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat all of the slices evenly. Then, sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. You can also add your choice of herbs—fresh rosemary or thyme adds a fragrant and savory note.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking. Spread the potato slices in a single layer, making sure there is space between each slice. Overcrowding the pan can result in soggy potatoes, so be sure not to stack them.
Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time. This will help them cook evenly and achieve a golden, crispy exterior. Keep an eye on them toward the end of the cooking time to ensure they don’t burn.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven. For extra flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes or garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve them immediately as a side dish to your favorite meal!

Variations on Roasted Potato Slices

While the basic recipe is delicious on its own, you can easily customize it with various seasonings, herbs, and toppings. Here are a few variations to try:

1. Cheesy Roasted Potato Slices:

Before roasting, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on the potato slices for a cheesy, savory flavor. Alternatively, you can top them with cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a melty finish.

2. Garlic and Herb Roasted Potatoes:

Add minced garlic and a mixture of fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the potatoes for a fragrant, herbaceous flavor. This combination is perfect for pairing with roasted meats or grilled dishes.
