Sliced Baked Potatoes – Page 2

Season: In a small bowl, mix olive oil or butter with minced garlic. Brush the mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure to get between the slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake: Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on size, until the edges are crispy and the inside is tender.

Add toppings: If using cheese, sprinkle it on during the last 10 minutes of baking. Once out of the oven, top with herbs, bacon bits, or a dollop of sour cream.

📝 Tips & Variations

Crispier potatoes: Bake on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet to allow air circulation.
Add flavor: Try seasoning with paprika, garlic powder, or Italian herbs before baking.
Make it cheesy: Insert thin slices of cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) between some of the potato slices for a gooey upgrade.
Loaded version: Top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, chives, and shredded cheddar after baking for a loaded baked potato feel.
