Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut into quarter-inch slices.
- Combine the potato slices, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a Ziploc bag and shake until coated.
- Arrange the coated potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes or until tender, turning once halfway through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the mix. If you're out of balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can work as a substitute. Ensure the potato slices are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to promote even cooking and crispiness. For a healthier twist, you can reduce the amount of olive oil or use a cooking spray instead.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these oven roasted potato slices as a delicious side dish to accompany grilled meats or a fresh salad. They pair beautifully with Jean'S Dijon Salad Dressing for dipping. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a protein like baked chicken or fish and a vibrant vegetable medley.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other types of potatoes such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Each type will impart a different flavor and texture, so feel free to experiment. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the potato used.
How do I make these potato slices crispier?
To achieve crispier potato slices, make sure they are cut evenly and not too thick. Additionally, you can increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 10 minutes of baking or broil them for a couple of minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
Can I prepare the potato slices ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can slice the potatoes and toss them with the marinade a few hours in advance. Just store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. This allows the flavors to meld and can make for an easier dinner prep.
