how long to bake sliced potatoes
The baking time for sliced potatoes can vary depending on the thickness of the slices, the temperature of the oven, and the desired level of crispiness. Here are some general guidelines:
Thinly sliced potatoes (1/8 inch or 3 mm thick):
- 400°F (200°C): 15-20 minutes
- 425°F (220°C): 10-15 minutes
Medium-thick sliced potatoes (1/4 inch or 6 mm thick):
- 400°F (200°C): 25-30 minutes
- 425°F (220°C): 20-25 minutes
Thickly sliced potatoes (1/2 inch or 1 cm thick):
- 400°F (200°C): 35-40 minutes
- 425°F (220°C): 30-35 minutes
To achieve crispy potato slices, you can try the following:
- Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Toss the slices with oil, salt, and your choice of seasonings.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at the desired temperature until crispy and golden brown.
Keep an eye on the potatoes during the baking time, as they can quickly go from perfectly cooked to burnt. You can also flip the slices halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
