Transfer the slices to a salad bowl. Add the olive oil, flour, ground paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat each slice with the spices.
Cooking:
Spread the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t touch each other. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serving:
After baking, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with your favorite herbs or a pinch of salt. Serve immediately, preferably warm.

FAQ
1. Can I use other spices?
Yes, you can experiment with spices to suit your taste. Grilling spice mixes or smoked paprika are perfect, for example.
2. Can I fry the potato slices instead of baking them?
Of course! If you prefer a fried version, heat a little oil in a pan and brown them.
3. Which potatoes are best for this recipe?
Less starchy potatoes, like salad potatoes, are best: they will make the slices crispier.
4. Can I prepare a larger quantity at once?
Yes, but remember to spread the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. If they don’t fit in a single pan, use two baking sheets and cook them simultaneously.
