Variations:
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix for a spicy twist.
Herb Blend: Experiment with dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano for a more fragrant option.

Sweet Potato Option: Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile that pairs wonderfully with maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
FAQs:
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes! While Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes work best for this recipe due to their texture and flavor, you can use any potato you prefer. Keep in mind that different types of potatoes may require slight adjustments in baking time.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the potatoes, season them, and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. However, for the best texture, it’s ideal to bake them fresh.
Why are my potatoes not crispy?
If your potatoes aren’t getting crispy, it could be because they were too thickly sliced, or they weren’t spaced out enough on the baking sheet. Be sure to cut the slices thinly and avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the hot air to circulate and crisp them up.
Can I make this recipe in an air fryer?
Absolutely! Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C), then cook the potato slices for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to ensure they become golden and crispy!
