Sliced Baked Potatoes

These sliced baked potatoes are the perfect side dish. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Whether you’re serving them with steak, chicken, or enjoying them on their own,

Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika (optional)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or your choice)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Instructions:

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
    2. Slice the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds, keeping the slices uniform for even baking.
    3. Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or melted butter) with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried herbs. Brush or toss the potato slices in the mixture to coat them evenly.
    4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
    5. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
    6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.
    7. Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot with sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dip!
    8. Tips & Variations:

      • Extra Crispy? Broil for the last 2-3 minutes to add extra crunch.
      • Spicy Kick? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
      • Loaded Style? Top with bacon bits and green onions for a loaded potato twist.

      Enjoy your crispy, cheesy sliced baked potatoes! 🥔✨
