Step-by-Step Instructions (Very Detailed)
Step 1 – Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2 – Wash and Slice the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water.
You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
Slice the potatoes into:
-
thin rounds (about ¼ inch thick)
OR -
half-moon shapes
Try to keep slices even so they cook uniformly.
Step 3 – Season the Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl.
Add:
-
olive oil or melted butter
-
salt
-
pepper
-
paprika
-
garlic powder
-
herbs
Toss well until every slice is coated evenly.
Step 4 – Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Do not overlap them — this helps them crisp up properly.
Step 5 – Bake
Place in the oven and bake for 25–35 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, flip the slices using tongs or a spatula.
They are ready when:
-
golden brown
-
edges are crispy
-
inside is tender when pierced with a fork
Step 6 – Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm.

⭐ Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
✔ Soak slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes before baking to remove extra starch.
✔ Dry them completely before seasoning.
✔ Use high heat (400°F or slightly higher).
✔ Do not overcrowd the pan.
✔ For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end (watch carefully).
