Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking dish or sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
Scrub your potatoes clean and pat them dry—keeping the skins on adds a rustic flavor and natural crispness. The skins also contain nutrients and fiber, making this dish not only delicious but also slightly guilt-free.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into even, thin slices about ⅛ inch thick. You can slice them all the way through for a layered stack look or make accordion-style cuts (Hasselback-style) for a fan-like effect.
