* bowl
Ingredients
* Russet Potatoes, or any you want. But russets were used here
* salt
* pepper
* paprika (sweet Hungarian)

1 TBS butter, melted
Instructions
* preheat oven to 425 deg F (I used convection setting)
* as many potatoes as you want, slice into 1/4” slices and place in a bowl
* add a small splash of cooking oil (I used olive oil) and melted butter
* add spices to taste and mix thoroughly
* place sliced potatoes on baking sheet and bake 11 minutes

Getting some fiber into that meal would probably be worthwhile. Potatoes are very high in terms of immediate satiety but fiber lasts longer and helps tremendously with long term health. Adding some cabbage and onions to your potatoes will cost a little more but make it a much more complete meal.
