Equipment

Ingredients

2 large russet potatoes (washed and dried)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Make sure the oven rack is in the center position and preheat the oven to 415 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice potatoes into ¼ inch thick rounds and pat both sides of each round dry with a paper towel.
To a large bowl, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir until well blended.
Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss until well coated.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean up and place the potato slices on the sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip, then bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the outside is golden and the inside is soft.

Notes

Recipe Variations And Substitutions:

Add Cheese – Add shredded Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella to make cheesy potato slices. Cheese can be added during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Loaded Baked Potato Slices – Add cheese, bacon crumbles, and sour cream like I do in my air fryer loaded potato slices.
Different Seasonings – Oregano, dried parsley flakes, or dried thyme all make good seasonings to try. Cajun seasoning or a touch of cayenne pepper seasoning add a bit of spiciness.
Add Butter – Use melted butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
Different Types Of Potatoes – You can use Russet, Yukon Gold, or large red potatoes.

Storage And Reheating Instructions:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes until warmed throughout. If using an air fryer, reheat at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 5 minutes until warm throughout.

Pro Tips:

Slice the potatoes thinner for a chip-like texture.
Patting the potatoes dry before seasoning helps with crispiness.
I like to slice my potatoes ¼ inch thick. This results in a soft center with crispy edges. If you would prefer chip-like slices, then slice the potatoes into ⅛^th or 1/16^th inch slices for a crisp center and outside.
