These simple oven roasted potatoes are a fam favorite. The potatoes are slathered in olive oil, seasoned to perfection with a simple seasoning mix of sea salt, black pepper, and paprika, then baked in the oven until they are golden brown, crunchy, and still have that soft potato in the center.
These are ready to serve right out of the oven, don’t wait, they are best when they are fresh and piping hot.
Type of Potatoes to use for Roasting
For this recipe I used Idaho Russet Potatoes, I had the fortune of buying a 50-pound bag, so it is all about potatoes around here these days! They turned out perfectly. Other varieties that work great for slicing into smaller pieces and roasting are Yukon Gold or even Red Potatoes.
The key to getting the potatoes crispy on the outside while still soft in the center is to make sure your oven is hot enough, the potatoes are all coated in oil and you take the time to flip them a few times while baking.
How to Serve Baked Potato Fries
These sliced potato fries can be served alone as a side, dipped in ketchup, or with a simple dipping sauce made from 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Other ways we like to enjoy these potato slices is to make them into potato nachos with layers of chili and cheese or even just top with a layer of shredded cheese and place back in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melty and golden brown on top.
How Long to Bake Sliced Potatoes
Let’s walk through the simple steps to make these crispy potatoes including cooking time and temperature.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes clean making sure to get any dirt from the skin.
- Slice the potatoes into quarters and then slice each of those quarters into 1/2-inch triangular pieces. Lay the sliced potatoes onto a greased baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to make sure all of the potato pieces are coated in olive oil.
- Combine the salt, pepper, and paprika. Season the potatoes on all sides with the seasoning mix.
- Bake the potato pieces in a 400ºF oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping at least once halfway through baking. Bake until the potato slices are golden brown and a fork slides easily into the flesh of the potato.
