Crispy Sliced Baked Potatoes

• Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
• Mixing bowl
• Baking dish or sheet pan
• Pastry brush
• Aluminum foil or parchment paper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking dish or sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.

Scrub your potatoes clean and pat them dry—keeping the skins on adds a rustic flavor and natural crispness. The skins also contain nutrients and fiber, making this dish not only delicious but also slightly guilt-free.

Step 2: Slice the Potatoes

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into even, thin slices about ⅛ inch thick. You can slice them all the way through for a layered stack look or make accordion-style cuts (Hasselback-style) for a fan-like effect.

Pro tip for SEO readers: Even slicing ensures uniform baking and maximizes that crispy baked potato texture everyone searches for.
