Here’s a simple, crispy-on-the-edges sliced baked potatoes recipe that never lets you down—great as a side or snack.
🥔 Sliced Baked Potatoes
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika or garlic powder (optional)
- Optional toppings: chopped parsley, grated cheese, sour cream
Instructions
1. Prep
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
- Lightly grease or line a baking tray
2. Slice the Potatoes
- Wash and scrub potatoes
- Slice into ¼-inch (½ cm) thick rounds
- Pat dry with a paper towel (helps them crisp)
3. Season
- In a bowl, toss potato slices with oil/butter, salt, pepper, and any spices
- Make sure every slice is coated
4. Bake
- Arrange slices in a single layer on the tray
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip
- Bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and tender
5. Serve
- Sprinkle with parsley or cheese if desired
- Serve hot with sour cream, ketchup, or garlic mayo
⭐ Tips for Perfect Results
- Don’t overcrowd the tray—use two trays if needed
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes
- Yukon Gold = creamier inside, Russet = crispier edges
Easy Variations
- Cheesy: sprinkle cheddar or parmesan during the last 5 minutes
- Garlic butter: brush with melted butter + minced garlic after baking
- Herb: add rosemary or thyme before baking
