👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or moisture. - Slice Carefully
Cut each potato horizontally into even slices about halfway through the thickness. For extra crunch, angle the slices slightly. - Heat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready to crisp the potatoes. - Mix Seasonings
Combine salt, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. - Oil the Slices
Arrange the potato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly brush or spray with olive oil. - Season Evenly
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over each slice, coating them well. - Bake to Perfection
Bake for 40–45 minutes until the slices are golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. - Serve and Enjoy
Let them cool slightly before serving. Add toppings like sour cream, chopped chives, or grated cheese for extra indulgence. Perfect as a side or snack!
💡 Tips for Crispy Success
- Slice all potatoes uniformly for even cooking
- Give each slice room on the tray to allow air circulation
- Adjust the spices to your taste preferences
- For extra crispiness, place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end
