There’s a secret to these little baked slices of potato heaven that I’m going to let you in on. This secret is the very reason that my husband almost fell over when he ate them. He doesn’t even care for potatoes that much, (I know, sinful, barely forgivable even, because potatoes are amazing), but these suckers? He could eat them all day long.
So, what’s the secret?
You brush the baked potato slices with bacon drippings. (Okay fine, grease. Bacon grease. I was trying to be dainty about it.)
But it just makes these so gosh darn flavorful. I mean, as if topping them with cheese and crispy bacon isn’t enough, whew.
These baked potatoes topped with bacon, melted cheese, green onions and sour cream make a great side for steak or light dinner. Enjoy!
HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT CRISPY OVEN BAKED POTATO SLICES
I love how simple these baked potato rounds are. They are thinner and therefore bake through quicker than regular potato wedges. This is why I prefer making them when I need a quick potato side dish.
Step 1: Peel the potatoes. Wash them. Pat them dry. Slice them thinly and evenly with a knife or even better: with a mandoline slicer.

Step 2: Place the potato slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add the olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper on top.

Step 3: Mix the potatoes around until they are all coated. I usually fold one side of the parchment paper over and swirl them around (that way I don’t have to get my hands or a spoon oily).

Step 4: Lay them flat on the parchment paper without overlapping each other.
