Sliced Baked Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil (or melted butter)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for garnish (optional)
• Grated cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

• Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
• Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds, making sure to cut evenly for consistent cooking.

3. Season the Potatoes:

• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the sliced potatoes in the mixture until they are well coated.

4. Arrange for Baking:

• Place the seasoned potato slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. For extra crispiness, you can use a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

5. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the potato slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

6. Optional Cheese Topping:

• If you’d like to add cheese, sprinkle grated cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking and return to the oven until melted.

7. Serve:

• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy!
