🥔🍽️ Sliced Baked Potato
A sliced baked potato is a simple twist on the classic baked potato—crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and perfect for adding toppings.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1–2 large potatoes (Russet works best)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper (optional)
- Optional toppings: cheese 🧀, herbs 🌿, sour cream, bacon bits 🥓
🍳 Instructions
1. Bake the potato
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Wash and dry potatoes
- Pierce with a fork
- Bake for 45–60 minutes until soft inside
2. Slice carefully
- Let potato cool slightly
- Slice into even rounds or wedges (don’t cut all the way through if you want a “fan” style)
3. Add seasoning
- Brush slices with olive oil or butter
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, or herbs
4. Crisp it (optional but delicious)
- Return to oven for 10–15 minutes
- This makes edges golden and crispy
5. Add toppings
- Melt cheese on top
- Add sour cream, chives, or bacon bits
🍽️ Serving ideas
- As a side dish with chicken, steak, or fish
- As a loaded snack or appetizer
- With garlic butter or cheese sauce
💡 Tips
- Don’t slice too early or potato may fall apart
- Use a brush for even butter/oil coating
- Try air fryer for extra crispiness
