Sliced Baked Potatoes

recip


  • Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet (or rack).
  • Bake 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway only if you want extra crispness on both sides (not required if using a rack).
  • Edges should be golden and crisp; centers tender when pierced with a fork.

4. Serve Hot

  • Sprinkle with fresh herbs or extra salt if desired.
  • Best served immediately—potatoes soften as they cool!

Serving Suggestions

  • 🥩 With mains: Grilled steak, roast chicken, pork chops, or salmon
  • 🧀 Loaded style: Top with sour cream, shredded cheddar, bacon bits, and chives
  • 🥗 For balance: Simple green salad or steamed broccoli

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Store baked potatoes up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 400°F for 8–10 minutes to restore crispness.
  • Freeze: Not recommended—texture becomes mealy when thawed.
  • Prep ahead: Slice and soak potatoes morning-of; refrigerate in water until ready to bake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: No garlic/onion powder?
A: Use 1 tbsp fresh minced garlic or skip—still delicious with just salt, pepper, and oil.
Q: Want extra crunch?
A: Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch before oiling—creates an ultra-crisp exterior.
Q: Can I add cheese before baking?
A: Add in the last 5 minutes to melt—otherwise it burns.
