Potato Slice Options

There are other options to customize these potato sliders if they aren’t exactly what you’d like. Below are a few examples that may make these sliders perfect for you.

Vegetarian Options:

  • For those who prefer a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, roasted bell peppers, or grilled zucchini as filling options.
  • Swap traditional cheddar cheese for a creamy goat cheese or tangy feta for added flavor.

Tex-Mex Twist:

  • Incorporate classic Tex-Mex flavors by topping the potato slices with shredded Mexican blend cheese, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn kernels, and a dollop of guacamole or salsa.
  • Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh finish.

Miniature Toppings Bar:

  • Set up a mini toppings bar with an assortment of toppings and let guests customize their baked potato sliders to their liking. Include options like diced ham, cooked sausage crumbles, chopped scallions, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, and hot sauce.

Greek-Inspired Creation:

  • Create a Mediterranean-inspired version by topping the potato slices with crumbled feta cheese, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh dill or oregano for an authentic touch.

Healthier Alternatives:

  • Opt for sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier twist. Bake sweet potato rounds until tender and top with toppings like black beans, diced avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

Potato Slider Cooking Tips

Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for potatoes such as Russet if you can, but Yukon Gold or red potatoes work as well. Try to select potatoes that are similar in size for uniform sliders.

Precook Potatoes if Necessary: If you’re short on time or prefer a softer texture, consider partially precooking the potato slices by microwaving them for a few minutes before baking them in the oven. This can help speed up the baking process and ensure that the potatoes are fully cooked through.

Season Generously: Don’t skimp on seasoning! Coat the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking to enhance their flavor and ensure they’re delicious from the inside out.

Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they’re not overlapping. This allows for proper air circulation and helps the potatoes cook evenly and become crispy.

Customize Your Fillings: Get creative with your toppings! Experiment with different cheeses, meats, vegetables, and sauces to create unique flavor combinations that suit your taste preferences.

Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the oven while the potato sliders are baking to prevent them from overcooking or burning. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the potato slices.

Serve Hot: Baked potato sliders are best served hot and fresh from the oven. Arrange them on a platter and serve immediately, allowing your guests to enjoy them while they’re still warm and gooey.
