Here’s a full recipe for Sliced Baked Potatoes that’s simple, flavorful, and easy to make:

Sliced Baked Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these sliced baked potatoes are perfect as a side dish or a base for toppings like cheese, herbs, or sour cream.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 medium potatoes, washed and thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika (optional for color and flavor)
Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Slice the Potatoes

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to cut the potatoes into even 1/4-inch slices.
Pat slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

3. Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika until evenly coated.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

Lay the potato slices in a single layer, slightly overlapping if necessary.
Overlapping slightly can make them softer; keep spaced apart for crispier edges.

5. Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Bake longer (up to 40 minutes) if you want extra crispy edges.

6. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips for Best Results

Use starchy potatoes like Russets for fluffier texture.
For a crispier finish, soak sliced potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry.
Experiment with spices: smoked paprika, chili powder, or Parmesan for extra flavor.

This is a versatile side dish that pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
