1. Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
2. Slice the Potatoes
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each potato horizontally, about halfway through its thickness. For extra crispiness, try angled slices.
3. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot.
4. Mix the Seasoning
Combine salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
5. Oil the Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes on a parchment-lined baking tray. Lightly brush or spritz with olive oil to help them crisp.
6. Season
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over each potato slice, coating thoroughly.
7. Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden and crispy on the outside, tender inside.
8. Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Top with sour cream, chives, or cheese for an extra treat. Perfect as a side dish or snack!
Tips for the Best Slices
• Slice evenly for consistent cooking
• Don’t overcrowd the tray—space allows crisping
