Crispy Sliced Baked Potatoes – The Ultimate Side Dish! 🥔🔥


 

1️⃣ Prep the Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Wash potatoes, pat dry, and slice 1/4-inch thick (don’t cut all the way through—leave the bottom intact, like an accordion).

2️⃣ Season & Bake

  1. Place potatoes on a baking sheet.

  2. Brush with melted butter, getting between the slices.

  3. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt & pepper.

  4. Bake 45-50 mins until crispy and tender (baste with more butter halfway).

3️⃣ Add Toppings (Optional)

  1. If using cheese, sprinkle on last 5 mins to melt.

  2. Garnish with parsley, bacon, or sour cream.

🔥 Pro Tips for Perfect Potatoes

🔹 Use uniform potatoes – For even cooking.
🔹 Soak in water first – Removes starch for crispier edges (optional).
🔹 Butter vs. oil – Butter = richer flavor; oil = crispier.
🔹 Add herbs – Rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.

  • With grilled steak or chicken – Classic combo!
