  • Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the potatoes: This will help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the foil packets: Make sure there is enough space for the potatoes to cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender and slightly browned: Depending on the thickness of the potato slices, this could take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Top the potatoes with cheese and bake until melted: Use a good melting cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or fontina.
