Recipe Notes:
Potato Selection: Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for the best results. They have a fluffy texture when baked.
Slice Thickness: Ensure uniform thickness when slicing the potatoes. This helps in even cooking. Aim for slices around 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Preparation: Scrub the potatoes well and consider leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
Seasoning: Customize the seasoning to your taste. Common options include garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, thyme, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for added flavor.
Oil Application: Coat each potato slice evenly with olive oil to promote a crispy exterior during baking.
Baking Temperature: Preheat the oven to around 400°F (200°C) for a balance between crispiness and tenderness.
Baking Time: Keep an eye on the potatoes as baking times can vary. Aim for golden brown edges and a fork-tender center.
Single Layer Arrangement: Lay the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even baking and prevent sogginess.
Flipping Potatoes: Flip the potato slices halfway through the baking time to achieve even crispiness on both sides.
Serve Immediately: Sliced Baked Potatoes are best enjoyed immediately out of the oven for maximum crispiness.
