Oven Baked Potato Slices Recipe
Introduction
Oven baked potato slices are a simple and tasty way to enjoy potatoes without the extra oil from frying. Crispy on the edges and soft in the center, they make a perfect side dish or snack that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cracked pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: Peel the potatoes, wash them, and pat dry. Slice them thinly and evenly using a knife or a mandoline slicer for best results.
- Step 3: Arrange the potato slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over them, then sprinkle with salt and cracked pepper. Fold one side of the parchment paper over and gently swirl to coat the slices evenly without using your hands or a spoon. Lay the slices flat on the parchment paper, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Step 4: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the slices turn golden and crisp. Serve warm as a side or enjoy with your favorite dip.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, sprinkle smoked paprika or garlic powder along with the salt and pepper before baking.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of russets for a slightly sweeter and colorful variation.
- Cut the slices thinner if you prefer them crispier, but watch the baking time closely to avoid burning.
Storage
Store leftover potato slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes to help maintain their crispness.
