How to cut round potato slices
With these steps, you'll have perfectly cut potatoes ready for crisping up in the oven!
Use a Mandoline or Sharp Knife:
- Mandoline: Set the mandoline to a thickness of about ⅛ inch (3 mm) for even slices.
- Knife: If using a knife, make sure it’s sharp and slice the potatoes evenly to achieve consistent thickness.
Tips for Best Results:
- Uniform Thickness: Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking.

Why use Gold Potatoes instead of Russet Potatoes?
While Russet potatoes are often preferred for their high starch content and crispiness, Gold potatoes can offer a delightful alternative that enhances flavor and texture. If you’re looking for creamy, flavorful, and beautifully golden oven-baked potato slices, consider using Gold potatoes for this recipe.
Using Gold potatoes, such as Yukon Gold potatoes, instead of Russet potatoes for crispy oven-baked potato slices can offer several advantages:
1. Creamier Texture - Gold potatoes have a naturally creamy and buttery texture, which can enhance the overall flavor of the slices, making them more enjoyable to eat.
2. Moisture Content - Gold potatoes contain slightly more moisture than Russet potatoes, which can help create a perfect balance between crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside.
3. Less Starch - Gold potatoes are lower in starch compared to Russets. This means they won’t dry out as easily during baking, helping to maintain a nice, creamy interior while still achieving that crispy exterior.
4. Flavor - Gold potatoes have a slightly sweeter, richer flavor that can elevate the taste of your potato slices, complementing seasonings and toppings beautifully.
5. Color and Presentation - Gold potatoes have a beautiful golden hue that can make your baked potato slices look more appetizing and visually appealing on the plate.
Step by Step Instructions
I really enjoy how simple these baked potato rounds are to prepare. Their thinner shape allows them to bake faster than regular potato wedges, which is why I often make them when I need a quick side dish!
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a baking dish or cast iron pan with a generous pat of butter and set it aside.
Slice the Potatoes
Grab your mandoline or food processor and slice those potatoes thinly—about ⅛ inch thick is perfect. This little trick helps them cook evenly and get that lovely crispiness we all crave!
Soak the Slices
Next, pop the sliced potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch. After soaking, drain and rinse the slices, then give them a gentle pat dry with paper towels.
Mix the Ingredients
Transfer those lovely potato slices to a large bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, some grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the slices are beautifully coated.
Arrange the Potatoes
Layer the potato slices into stacks and arrange them vertically in your prepared baking dish or pan. This little stacking technique helps them crisp up and cook evenly—because nobody wants soggy potatoes!
Bake
Slide the potatoes into the oven and bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges and tops are gloriously golden brown and crispy, while the centers remain tender and delicious.
Garnish and Serve
Once they’re perfectly baked, sprinkle with crispy bacon bits, a pinch of sea salt, and some fresh thyme, rosemary or parsley if you like. Serve them up right away and enjoy those perfectly crispy oven-baked potato slices!
Variations of Sliced Roasted Potatoes
- Garlic Herb: Toss the potato slices with minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme before roasting for a fragrant and savory flavor.
- Spicy Paprika: Add smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a smoky, spicy kick that elevates the potatoes.
- Cheesy: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese over the potatoes during the last few minutes of baking for a melty, cheesy finish.
- Lemon Zest and Dill: Combine lemon zest, fresh dill, and a drizzle of olive oil for a bright, refreshing twist that pairs well with seafood.
- Italian Seasoning: Use a blend of Italian herbs like oregano, basil, and parsley for a classic Italian flavor profile.
- Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the roasted potatoes for a sweet and tangy finish that adds depth to the flavor.
- BBQ Style: Toss with your favorite barbecue seasoning or sauce before roasting for a smoky, tangy taste.
Tips for Extra Crispiness:
- Soak the Potatoes: Soaking sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking can help remove excess starch, resulting in crisp exterior and creamy centers.
- Use a Baking Sheet: If you want even more crunch, you can bake the slices on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet, allowing air to circulate around the potatoes.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure the potato slices are arranged in a single layer to ensure they bake evenly and crisp up nicely.
- Use High Heat: Roast potatoes at a high temperature helps achieve that crispy texture.
