Sliced baked potatoes are a delicious, easy-to-make dish, perfect as a side or even a main meal! Here’s a simple recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon gold work well)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, bacon bits, fresh herbs, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Toss the potato slices in olive oil (or melted butter), ensuring each slice is coated. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Lay them out flat, without overlapping, so they cook evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. You want them golden and crispy on the edges.
- Optional: If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 5 minutes of baking to let it melt and bubble.
- Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, green onions, or bacon bits for extra flavor!
Enjoy your crispy, flavorful sliced baked potatoes!
