🔪 How to Make Sliced Baked Potatoes
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Slice the Potatoes
- Wash potatoes thoroughly.
- Slice each potato ⅛ to ¼ inch thick, NOT cutting all the way through (Hasselback-style).
- Tip: Place the potato between two wooden spoons to prevent cutting through.
3. Make the Garlic Butter
- Mix together in a small bowl:
- melted butter
- olive oil
- garlic
- paprika
- thyme or rosemary
- salt + pepper
4. Coat the Potatoes
- Place sliced potatoes on a baking tray.
- Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure it gets between the slices.
5. Bake
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, depending on potato size.
- Halfway through, brush with more butter mixture.
6. Add Cheese (Optional)
- For cheesy baked potatoes, sprinkle shredded cheese on top for the last 10 minutes of baking.
7. Serve
- Remove from oven.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot.
⭐ Texture & Flavor Tips
- Brush butter generously between slices for maximum crispiness.
- Add parmesan for a crunchy top.
- For extra crisp edges, increase oven heat to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10 minutes.
