Sliced Baked Potatoes

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
• Lay the potato slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Overlapping can result in uneven cooking and soggy spots.

5. Bake the Potatoes

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each slice to ensure even browning.
• Continue baking for another 15–20 minutes until the slices are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Pro Tip: If you prefer extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for the last 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye so they don’t burn.

6. Add Toppings (Optional)

Once baked, remove the potato slices from the oven and immediately top with your choice of extras:

• Sprinkle shredded cheese for a melty, cheesy finish.
• Add fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary for aroma and freshness.
• Serve with sour cream or a drizzle of garlic butter.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the sliced baked potatoes on a serving platter. They pair perfectly with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or even a fresh salad. Enjoy them warm as a comforting, golden, and flavorful side dish.

Tips for Perfect Sliced Baked Potatoes

1. Choose the right potato: Russets or Yukon golds are ideal because they are starchy and crisp up beautifully.
2. Cut evenly: Uniform slices cook evenly and prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are underdone.
3. Don’t overcrowd the pan: Air circulation is key for crispy edges.
4. Experiment with flavors: Try smoked paprika, rosemary, or Parmesan cheese for variety.
