Baked potatoes in thin slices

Thinly sliced baked potatoes are a versatile and delicious ingredient commonly used in a wide variety of cooking recipes. These are potatoes that have been cut into very thin slices and then cooked in the oven until they reach a crispy texture on the outside and tender on the inside.

This preparation method originates from various culinary traditions, but it is especially popular in European and American cuisine for its simplicity and versatility. By baking them instead of frying, the potatoes better retain their nutritional properties and become a healthier option.

Properties: Potatoes are a good source of complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and minerals such as potassium. By baking them in thin slices, the amount of added fat is reduced, maintaining a balanced nutritional profile. Furthermore, this type of preparation enhances their natural flavor and allows them to be combined with various dressings and spices.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: depending on the region, thinly sliced baked potatoes may be known as papas en láminas horneadas, papas al horno en rebanadas, or simply papas gratinadas when prepared with cheeses or creams. In some countries, they are also called chips de papa caseras when they are very crispy.
