Tips:
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Leaving the skins on contributes to the crispy texture and adds extra flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes evenly so they cook uniformly. Ensure the slices are not too thick, as they may not crisp properly.
- Toss the potato skins with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking. This helps them crisp up and develop a golden brown color.
- Spread the potato skins in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding the pan will prevent them from becoming crispy.
- Bake the potato skins at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for the first 15 minutes to help them crisp up. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking until they are tender.
- Watch the potato skins closely towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from burning. The edges should be golden brown and crisp, but the centers should still be tender.
- Serve the potato skins immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, or chives.
