Sliced Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Sour cream or ranch dressing (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds, about ¼-inch thick, but do not cut all the way through (leave the bottom intact for a fan-like effect).
  3. Season: In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or melted butter) with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture generously over the potatoes, ensuring it gets between the slices.
  4. Bake: Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender inside.
  5. Add Cheese (Optional): If using cheese, sprinkle shredded cheddar and Parmesan over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot with sour cream or ranch dressing.
