Sliced Baked Potatoes Recipe

Sliced Baked Potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish that delivers crispy edges and a tender, flavorful interior. Whether seasoned with herbs, cheese, or spices, these potatoes are perfect for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or enjoying as a snack. The key to achieving the perfect texture lies in slicing the potatoes evenly and baking them at the right temperature to ensure a golden-brown finish.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes:
    Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline for even thickness.
  3. Season the Potatoes:
    In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
    Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.
  5. Bake the Potatoes:
    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through to achieve even crispiness.
  6. Add Cheese (Optional):
    If using cheese, sprinkle shredded cheddar over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of baking. Allow it to melt and turn golden.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Sliced Baked Potatoes:

  • Use a Mandoline: Ensures uniform slices for even baking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Overlapping slices can lead to uneven cooking.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Try rosemary, Parmesan, or chili flakes for different flavors.
  • Pair with Dips: Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli for extra indulgence.
