Sliced Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ¼ cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • ½ cup sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Slice the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes, then slice them into thin rounds (about ¼-inch thick). Do not cut all the way through if you prefer a Hasselback style.
  3. Season the Potatoes: Place the potato slices in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Arrange and Bake: Lay the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Add Cheese & Bacon (Optional): If using, sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon bits on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
