Sliced Baked Potatoes

Crispy on the edges, tender inside, and loaded with flavor—these Sliced Baked Potatoes are an easy and impressive side dish that goes with just about everything!

Ingredients:

4 medium russet potatoes

3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: shredded cheese, sour cream, or bacon bits for topping

 

 

Instructions:

Prep the Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice each potato thinly without cutting all the way through—creating a fan-like effect.

Season:

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Gently brush them with olive oil or melted butter, making sure to get between the slices. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Bake:

Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are golden and crispy.

Garnish and Serve:

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Add your favorite toppings if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
