These Oven Baked Potato Slices are easy to make and versatile. You can serve them as a side dish or with a dip as a snack! They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Initially, I didn’t want to post this recipe for Potato Slices on the blog because it’s too easy – too simple. But whenever I post my lunch on Instagram and it contains potato slices as a side dish, I receive so many messages asking me for 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!

- cilantro lemon sunflower seed dip
- vegan tartar sauce

Oven Baked Potato Slices
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Peel the potatoes. Wash them. Pat them dry. Slice them thinly and evenly with a knife or even better: with a mandoline slicer.
- Place the potato slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add the olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper on top. 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). Lay them flat on the parchment paper without overlapping each other.
- Bake the potato slices in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden. Enjoy as a side dish or as a delicious snack with a dip!

Added more olive oil myself (2 tbsp rather than tsp) and it worked quite well. Perfectly fried and crispy!

Such a delicious way to eat potatoes. A suggestion is, put the potatoes slices, the onion slices, salt and pepper in a plastic bag in order to coat everything evenly. Yum!

I do the same type of potatoes BUT I do not use any parching paper, I just place directly the potato slices on the tray. My trick is - my father actually tougjht me- is to add a little water on top of the potatoes after you have coated them with the olive oli. That assures they do not get burned or too dry and still come out cripsy and delicious. I also always cut half an onion in thin slices and sprinkle them /mix them with the potatoes, sop much flavor. Then I add good quality salt. Just sp tasty and healthier than fried potatoes. After you remove the potatoes to eat them, leave the tray with hot water and a little dish soap so helps to wash later. easy peasy..
