SLICED BAKED POTATOES
Components:
- Four medium russet potatoes
- Three tablespoons of melted butter or olive oil
- One teaspoon of powdered garlic
- One teaspoon of powdered onion
- One teaspoon of optional paprika
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Grated cheese (for garnish, if desired)
Directions:
- Set the Oven’s Temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the potatoes by giving them a good wash and scrape. Although you can peel them if you’d like, the skin provides nutrients and flavor.
- Cut the potatoes into thin rounds that are about 1/4 inch thick. To ensure consistent cooking, try to keep the slices uniform.
- Toss the potato slices in a big basin with olive oil, paprika, onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper until they are uniformly covered.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: To make cleanup easier, place the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
- Optional Toppings: If desired, you can top with shredded cheese in the final minutes of baking. Put it back in the oven to melt the cheese.
- When finished, take it out of the oven, add some fresh herbs if you’d like, and serve it hot!
- These roasted potatoes, cut into slices, are a delicious snack or side dish. Have fun!
