Baked Potato Slices

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!

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 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).

Oven Baked Potato Slices FAQ

Can I use sweet potatoes instead?

Definitely! I even have a recipe for oven-baked sweet potato slices.

My potato slices stick to the paper/baking tray!

Make sure you use the right kind of parchment paper, not wax paper. You can also add more oil to prevent the potato slices from sticking to the paper or tray.

Does the tray go in the top of the oven?

I place the potato slices into the middle/center oven rack.

Can I replace olive oil with another oil?

Yes! You can use pretty much any oil you like (canola, sunflower, soy, peanut,..)

Should the potato slices be flipped halfway through?

You can do that, but it’s not necessary!

Do you have any more questions? Leave them in the comments below and I will do my best to answer them!

This is for real THE easiest recipe for potatoes ever. I LOVE potatoes but hate the prep and cook time. I did not think these would come out right the first time but , they were perfect, I did not even peel the potatoes, just washed them and they still come out great. I use salt pepper, thyme rosemary and smoked paprika. They are fast, easy and killer. I saw this recipe 7 days ago and have made them EVERY DAY since either for breakfast (faster, better, less messy than fried) and taste even better, Thanks for a great, simple and real recipe.

Mhh that's weird. My guess is that the temperature was too hot or the potato slices were too thin, or a combination of both.

I love your mandolin slicer. Can I ask what brand it is ?

It's a 'Pro V Slicer'. There was a TV ad years ago and I gave in. It's a good slicer, though :)

Thank you for telling which rack to use in the oven. So many recipes never tell you and I'm often confused as to whether use low rack, medium, or the top one.
