Baking is science and I don't like formulas, but cooking is art and anything goes...and the simpler the better. It's all about less time at the stove and more time at the table. With a forty year passion for food I'm excited to share what I do in the kitchen nearly every day.

Crispy Potato Slices
These crispy baked potatoes slices with a creamy center are
embarrassingly simple but once you give them a try I’m certain they will become
a go to favorite. I’ve been making them
for years but they got even better when I started using parchment paper a while
back, I recommend it. Preheat the oven
to 450 and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper. Wash your russets or other baking potatoes
and cut them crosswise into quarter inch slices. After tossing in a bowl with a little bit of
olive oil, sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and pepper and lay them out side
by side on the parchment. Bake for
twenty minutes, remove and flip, then bake for another twenty or until they
start to brown. It helps to rotate the
cookie sheet after flipping so they brown more evenly. Serve immediately with an extra dash of
kosher salt if needed.
