How to Make Sliced Baked Potatoes
Preheat Oven
Heat your oven to exactly 400 degrees F. Grab a large baking sheet and set it nearby. This temperature will help create crispy potato slices.
Prepare Potato Mixture
Take a large zip-top bag and add the following:
Seal the bag and shake everything around until your potato slices are completely coated with the spices.
Arrange Potatoes
Spread the seasoned potato slices evenly on the baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overlapping too much so they can crisp up nicely.
Add Olive Oil
Drizzle 4 tablespoons of olive oil over the potato slices. Use your hands or a brush to ensure each slice gets a light coating of oil.
First Baking Cycle
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully remove and flip each potato slice.
Final Baking
Return the baking sheet to the oven. Continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until the potato slices are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the potato slices cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Enjoy them while they’re warm and crispy!

Bake Sliced Potatoes Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of potatoes?
Absolutely! Russet, red, or golden potatoes all work great. Just slice them evenly so they cook at the same rate.
What if I don’t have all those spices?
No worries. Use whatever herbs and seasonings are in your pantry. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are the key flavor boosters.
Do I need to peel the potatoes first?
Not necessary. Leaving the skin on adds extra nutrition and gives a nice rustic texture to your dish.
How thin should I slice the potatoes?
Aim for slices about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. This helps them get crispy on the outside while staying tender inside.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Definitely! Prep them in the morning and store in the fridge. Just pop in the oven when you’re ready to eat.
Are these potatoes healthy?
They’re packed with nutrients and baked, not fried, so they’re a healthier alternative to traditional potato sides.
