Initially, I didn’t want to post this recipe for Potato Slices on the blog because it’s too easy – too simple. But when I posted my lunch on IG where I made the potato slices as a side dish, I received so many messages asking me about the recipe. So here it goes.
The Ingredients
For simple and delicious Potato Slices you’ll need:
- russet potatoes
- olive oil
- salt
- black pepper (optional)
Instead of black pepper, you can also add rosemary, everything bagel seasoning, paprika powder, chili flakes… whatever you feel like!
How to make the perfect crispy Oven Baked Potato Slices
I love how simple these baked potato rounds are. They are thinner and therefore bake through quicker than regular potato wedges. This is why I prefer making them when I need a quick potato side dish.
Step 1: Peel the potatoes. Wash them. Pat them dry. Slice them thinly and evenly with a knife or even better: with a mandoline slicer.
Step 2: Place the potato slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add the olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper on top.
Step 3: Mix the potatoes around until they are all coated. I usually fold one side of the parchment paper over and swirl them around (that way I don’t have to get my hands or a spoon oily).
Step 4: Lay them flat on the parchment paper without overlapping each other.
Step 5: Bake the potato slices in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden. Enjoy as a side dish or as a delicious snack with a dip!
Serve them with…
as a snack with:
- guacamole

- vegan tartar sauce
- roasted pumpkin hummus
