Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 pound total)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground to taste
Optional toppings
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • sour cream
  • chopped chives
  • crispy bacon bits

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Thoroughly wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. You do not need to peel them; the skins add to the texture and flavor. Slice each potato into even rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Aim for consistency so they bake at the same rate.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil. Ensure each slice is lightly coated. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the potatoes. Toss gently to distribute the seasonings evenly.

  4. Carefully arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to give them a little space so they can crisp up properly and don't steam.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
  6. After 20 minutes, carefully flip each potato slice using a spatula. This ensures even browning and crisping on both sides.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potato slices are tender in the center and golden brown and crispy around the edges. If you're using cheese, sprinkle it over the potato slices during the last 5 minutes of baking and allow it to melt.

Notes

Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes for best crispiness. Can also freeze for up to 2-3 months.
