Ingredients
Instructions
- If you want to leave the skins on the potatoes, you may. Otherwise, peel each potato and drop it into a bowl of cold water to keep it from browning.
- Slice each potato into 1/4 inch slices and return slices to the cold water.
- Line a 15 x 10 inch pan with foil.
- Distribute the butter, garlic, thyme, and onion over the foil and heat in a 450° oven just until the butter is melted. Stir well.
- Drain the potato slices and dry on paper towels.
- Arrange the slices in the butter mixture, turning to coat both sides of the slices; overlap as needed.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 450°.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Return to the oven and continue baking 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or parsley in addition to the thyme. You can substitute the Parmesan cheese with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option. If you prefer crispier potatoes, try increasing the baking time slightly or finish with a quick broil. Make sure to spread the potatoes in a single layer for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These oven-baked sliced potatoes are a delightful side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a fresh salad. For a complete meal, serve alongside Neon Honey Mustard Chicken or a hearty vegetarian recipe. They also make a great appetizer when served with your favorite dipping sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use different varieties of potatoes such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Each type will yield slightly different textures and flavors, so feel free to experiment based on your preference.
What can I do if I don't have fresh garlic?
If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder as a substitute. About 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder can replace one clove of garlic. Just add it to the butter mixture when melting.
