How to Make Seasoned Sliced Potatoes with Mashed Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the creamy mashed potatoes. Cut the remaining potatoes into quarters and place them in a pot of salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the softened butter and milk. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting the milk for your desired consistency.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with sour cream and a sprinkle of chives or parsley, if desired.
- Once the sliced potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving alongside the creamy mashed potatoes.
