Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds extra texture and flavor.

- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Optional Toppings:
- If you like, you can sprinkle grated cheese over the potatoes during the last 5-10 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.
- Serve:
- Once the sliced baked potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish:
- Garnish with chopped herbs, and serve with sour cream or any other toppings you enjoy.
