Bake to Perfection:

Notes

  • For extra crispiness: Soak the potato slices in cold water for 20-30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch. Pat dry completely before seasoning.
  • Customize the flavors: Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Parmesan cheese for a unique twist.
  • Storage tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Best dipping sauces: Serve with ketchup, sour cream, garlic aioli, or a spicy sriracha mayo for added flavor.
