Crispy Oven Roasted Potato Slices
A Side Dish My Family Never Gets Tired Of
If there’s one side dish I can count on everyone enjoying, it’s these Crispy Oven Roasted Potato Slices. Honestly, they’re so simple to make, but they always disappear faster than anything else on the table. I usually make an extra tray because someone is always sneaking a few straight from the baking pan!
The secret is roasting the potatoes at a high temperature until they’re beautifully golden and crisp around the edges while staying soft and fluffy inside. Add a little garlic butter and fresh parsley, and you’ve got a side dish that’s hard to resist.
Whether you’re serving a weeknight dinner or a holiday feast, these potatoes are always a winner.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes well and slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds. Keeping the slices even helps them cook at the same rate.
Step 3: Season
In a large bowl, combine:
- Olive oil
- Melted butter
- Minced garlic
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Black pepper
Add the potato slices and toss until each slice is evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange
Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Avoid overlapping them so they roast instead of steam.
Step 5: Roast
Bake for 20 minutes.
Flip each potato slice and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 6: Finish
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Cooking Tips
- Dry the potatoes well after washing for extra crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking tray.
- Flip the slices halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Yukon Gold potatoes create a buttery texture, while Russets become extra crispy.
- For even more flavor, brush with a little garlic butter immediately after baking.
