Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice raw potatoes with skins into 1/2-inch thick slices and place on a buttered cookie sheet.

Tips & Substitutions
For crispier potato slices, pat them dry before seasoning. You can substitute the Shake 'n Bake with your favorite seasoning blend or breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan for added flavor. Using a mix of different potatoes like russets and red potatoes can enhance texture and taste. If you want a healthier option, consider using olive oil instead of butter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mo-Joes Potatoes as a delightful side dish with grilled meats or alongside a fresh salad for a light meal. They pair beautifully with Microwave Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes for a comforting dinner. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used in this recipe for a healthier twist. They will add a natural sweetness and a different texture. Adjust the baking time as sweet potatoes may cook faster; check for doneness at around 25 minutes.

Can I make this recipe in advance?
You can prepare the potato slices ahead of time, season them, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This will save time on the day you plan to serve them, allowing for a quicker preparation.
