Baked Garlic Potato Slices

This is one of those fun dishes to make with potatoes. Think of it as an alternative to french fries.

In this recipe, sliced garlic potatoes are cooked in an oven not an oil fryer. If you love making easy snacks, then a batch of sliced baked potatoes is one way to go.

Easy Baked Garlic Potato Slices

Here are the ingredients:

• 2-4 Whole potatoes;
• salt;
• olive oil;
• finely chopped garlic;
• herbs and spices (your choice)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 deg F.

Slice potatoes into desired thickness. Thinner is crispier is better. Use a mandoline for fast and easy slices.

The next step is key. You have to rinse the potatoes with water to remove starch.

Removing starch from each potato slice is very important because it keeps the slices from becoming soggy when they bake.

Dry potato slices with paper towel.

In a large bowl, mix olive oil, salt, chopped garlic, and your choice of herbs. Add the potatoes and continue to mix until each slice is evenly coated.

Place each slice of potato in a baking pan and stick pan in oven.

Turn potatoes every 15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from oven.

Serve and enjoy!

You can use any type of dipping sauce. I prefer low fat ranch dressing.
