Sliced baked potatoes are a delicious dish made from potatoes that are sliced and then baked until crispy and golden. They make a great side dish or even a light meal on their own. Here’s a simple recipe to make sliced baked potatoes:
Ingredients:
– Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)
– Olive oil
– Salt
– Pepper
– Optional toppings: grated cheese, chopped herbs, bacon bits, sour cream, etc.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and flavor.
3. Slice the potatoes into even, thin slices. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for this.
4. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until they are well coated. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
5. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices or herbs if desired, such as garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary.
6. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
8. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
9. If desired, you can sprinkle grated cheese over the potatoes while they are still hot and let it melt. You can also add other toppings like chopped herbs, bacon bits, or sour cream for additional flavor.
Enjoy your delicious sliced baked potatoes! They are perfect as a side dish for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a snack on their own.
