Chef's Tips

For extra crispiness, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before placing the potatoes on it.

Use a mandoline for perfectly even slices.

Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not drying the potatoes thoroughly can prevent them from crisping up.

Using too little oil will result in dry, less crispy potatoes.

Overbaking can lead to burnt potatoes, so keep a close eye on them.

Variations

Cheesy Sliced Potatoes: Sprinkle shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Spicy Sliced Potatoes: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the seasoning mix for an extra kick.

Herb-Infused Sliced Potatoes: Mix dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano into the seasoning mix for a fragrant twist.

Garlic Parmesan Sliced Potatoes: Toss the baked potato slices with melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese after baking.
