4 large russet potatoes, washed and dried

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
3. Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Slice the washed and dried potatoes into thin, even slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Be careful not to slice all the way through; the potato should remain intact at the bottom.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful seasoning mixture.
Carefully place the sliced potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each potato slice with the olive oil and seasoning mixture, ensuring that the slices are evenly coated on all sides.
For added crispiness, you can sprinkle a pinch of additional salt and black pepper over the potatoes.
Bake the Sliced Baked Potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes or until they turn golden brown and become crispy on the edges.
Once the potatoes are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an extra burst of color and freshness.
Serve the warm and flavorful Sliced Baked Potatoes as a delightful side dish, perfect for complementing any main course or as a standalone treat.
