Ingredients You’ll Need

Potatoes. I like to use Yukon gold potatoes. They have a really nice buttery potato flavor, and hold up really well in the oven. This will also work with red potatoes and russet potatoes. Try to pick ones that are large enough to cut into big slices. 

Gold potatoes are a good combination of waxy and starchy, so they’re considered an all-purpose potato. They work in most recipes. 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This helps hold the spices to the potatoes, and also helps the potatoes turn a nice golden brown in the oven. 

You can also use avocado oil or canola oil for baking, or if you’re planning to grill these. 

Spices. This recipe is fun because you can use any spice blend that you have. Potatoes make a really great base for any additional flavors. 

I used onion powder and garlic powder for flavor, and paprika for both flavor and color. Also, salt and black pepper, as usual. 

You can also try my Homemade Ranch Seasoning, Taco Seasoning, or Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning. Or try a basic Italian seasoning. 

How to Make Baked Potato Slices

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. Wash your potatoes thoroughly, and dry completely with a paper towel. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and spices.
2. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices. You do not need to remove the skin for this recipe, but you can if you want to. Add the potatoes to a large ziplock bag. Pour the spice mixture into the ziplock bag and seal the bag. Use your hands to move the potatoes around, coating completely with the spice mixture. 
3. Pour the potatoes onto the baking sheet and space them out as much as possible, so there is only a single layer. 
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown. If you want crispy potatoes, turn the broiler on for 2-3 minutes, watching really closely because the broiler can burn food very quickly. Season with salt as needed once they’re done. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you cut thin sliced potatoes?

The fastest way to slice potatoes thinly is by using a mandolin. Make sure to follow the safety procedures, because the blade is very sharp. 

For these potato slices, you don’t need to cut the potatoes too thin, or they will turn into potato chips. Aim for 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick. 

Should I soak potato slices?

You can soak the potato slices, which will remove enough of the starch to help the potatoes get crispy in the oven. If you’re going to do this step, slice the potatoes and submerge them in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes. 

However, you don’t have to soak the potato slices, if you’re ok with a softer texture. 

Storage

Refrigerate sliced baked potatoes for 2-3 days in an airtight container. 

Freeze for 2-3 months in the freezer. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for the best texture.

Cooking Tips

• You can also make this in a baking dish, but you may only have 1-2 potatoes worth of room to work with. 
• Make sure to break up any potato slices that are stuck together, so they don’t bake in big pieces. 
• I like to top this with fresh parsley for some extra flavor and a pop of color, but you can also use chives or green onions. 
• If your slices are smaller or larger, you may have to adjust the cooking time up or down accordingly.
