TO PREPARE SLICED BAKED POTATOES, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS:
4 large russet potatoes.
2 Tbsp.Of olive oil.
2 cloves of garlic, minced.
1 Tsp.Of dried thyme.
1 Tsp.Of dried rosemary.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Optional toppings; shredded cheese, chopped bacon, or chopped green onions.
NOW, LET'S DIVE INTO THE STEP-BY-STEP PREPARATION:
1st Step
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil and preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
2nd Step
Remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes by giving them a good washing under running water. Use a fresh towel to pat them until they are dry.
3rd Step
Put a potato on a cutting board, and then make slices down the length of the potato, keeping the slices thin and uniformly spaced but without cutting all the way through the potato. The distance between each slice needs to be around 1/8 inch (3 mm). Proceed in the same manner with the remainder of the potatoes.
4th Step
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Create a delicious oil combination by thoroughly combining the ingredients.
5th Step
Make careful to get in between the slices of the potatoes to achieve an equal distribution of flavor as you generously cover them with the oil mixture. You may use a pastry brush or your hands to do this.
6th Step
When placing the potatoes on the baking sheet that has been prepared, take care to ensure that they are equally spaced and not in contact with one another. Because of this, they will crisp up in an equal manner.
7th Step
Bake the potatoes in an oven that has been warmed for around fifty to sixty minutes, or until they have a golden brown color and a crunchy exterior. Keep an eye on the potatoes as they near the finish of the cooking process since the amount of time they need to cook might change depending on their size and thickness.
8th Step
After the potatoes have finished cooking, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before handling them. Because of this, they will be able to somewhat stiffen up, which will make them simpler to handle.
9th Step
If you choose, you may top the sliced baked potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped bacon, or chopped green onions. However, this step is optional. You are free to experiment with a variety of toppings and tastes, as well as to exercise your creative side.
10th Step
You may serve the hot sliced baked potatoes as a side dish to go along with your preferred main meal, or you can eat them on their own as a delectable snack.
