You all know I'm a huge fan of roasting veggies and potatoes are no exception. It brings out an amazing flavor and the potatoes are both crispy and creamy at the same time. I love doing a mix of both sweet potatoes and russet potatoes for the best of both worlds. These crispy baked potato slices are good with almost any meal!

🥔 Ingredient notes

Potatoes - Russet and sweet potatoes are both about the same density and can be found in about the same size. This allows as well as slicing them the same size will allow for even cooking.
Herbs - I used fresh thyme and sage leaves for this recipe. Alternatively, you can use dried herbs instead. For dried herbs, adjust the amount to only 1 Tablespoon of each.
