How to Make Baked Potato Oles

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (246°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Slice the scrubbed potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  4. Divide the potato slices in half.
  5. Place one half of the potatoes in a large plastic bag.
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes.
  7. Add half of the spice mix to the bag.
  8. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until potatoes are evenly coated.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining potatoes and spice mix.
  10. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  11. Spread the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
