Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Potatoes:
- Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Be careful to keep the slices even for even baking.
- Season and Coat:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Season the slices with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings or herbs of your choice. Toss well to ensure the seasoning covers each slice.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes.
- After the first 20 minutes, flip the potato slices over using a spatula to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Continue Baking:
- Put the baking sheet back in the oven and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potato slices turn golden brown and are crispy on the edges.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the sliced baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
