Here’s a super easy recipe for sliced baked potatoes — tender on the inside, lightly crisp on the edges, and perfect as a side dish 🥔✨
Easy Sliced Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp paprika or dried herbs (optional: rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Slice potatoes
- Wash and scrub potatoes.
- Slice into 1/4–1/2 inch thick rounds.
- Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Season
- In a bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Arrange for baking
- Place slices in a single layer on the baking sheet (overlapping slightly is fine, but don’t overcrowd).
- Bake
- Bake for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
- Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs or a little extra salt if desired.
- Serve hot as a side for meats, vegetables, or just on their own with a dipping sauce.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 10–15 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch.
- Add grated Parmesan before baking for a cheesy crust.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
If you want, I can also give you a cheesy garlic version, a loaded potato version with toppings, or a crispy air fryer version.
