Loaded Baked Potato Slices

I went to the farmer’s market this morning and came home with some locally grown Yukon Gold potatoes and a huge bunch of green onions. Of course, my first thought was to make some loaded baked potatoes but I hit the Internet in search of some creative inspiration. What I came up with were these loaded baked potato slices instead!

Thinly sliced potatoes were sliced and baked until almost tender.  Then, toppings were added.  I chose ground sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.  Sprinkle on some green onions before serving with a side of sour cream.  They were definitely a HUGE hit and the recipe made enough for leftovers that we will eat tomorrow night. I do love recipes that have leftovers!

What type of potato is best?

You could probably make these loaded baked potato slices with just about any type of potato. I like the Yukon Gold because it just has a unique texture…not at all dry and flavorless like some potatoes, I have had.

Even better was the fact that I supported a local farmer with my purchase! If you are a fan of the classic loaded baked potato I definitely think this recipe will be a hit.

If you love all things potato, my Blue Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Red Potato Appetizer should definitely catch your attention!

Ingredients for baked potato slices

Oven-baked sliced potatoes are easy to make.  Slice and cook just one potato for yourself or half a dozen to serve a crowd.  Quantities will vary, depending on how many people you are serving, however, here are the basic ingredients for these baked potato appetizers.

• Yukon Gold potatoes
• Olive oil
• Garlic salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Ground sausage, cooked
• Green onions, sliced thin
• Sour cream for serving if desired

How do you make loaded potato slices?

These are incredibly easy to make.  I par boiled my potato slices before baking to speed the process up a bit but you can skip this step if you are not in a hurry.  If you want to skip the parboiling step, just brush the potato slices with olive oil.  Bake until almost tender.  Add toppings (I used cooked, ground sausage, and shredded cheddar).  Bake til the cheese is melted.  Sprinkle with green onions and serve with sour cream.  

If you prefer, you can cook these on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat silicone mat.  That will keep them from sticking to the cookie sheet.  I cooked mine as more of a casserole, which I think works a bit better if you want to serve this as a  side dish.
