Ingredients

Scale

Potato Slices

2 pounds small potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Beef Mixture

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Cheese Filling

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk

Assembly

Slider buns

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the potato slices evenly and achieving crispiness.
Prepare Potatoes: Wash and slice the small potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds, making sure slices are uniform for even cooking.
Season Potatoes: Toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat them thoroughly, enhancing both flavor and crispness during baking.
Bake Potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden and crispy on the edges.
Cook Beef Mixture: While potatoes bake, cook the ground beef with chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, and optional red pepper flakes in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through, then drain excess grease.
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Assemble Sliders: Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each baked potato slice. Then add a spoonful of the cooked beef mixture on top of the cheese layer.
Build Sliders: Place each filled potato slice onto a slider bun, creating a layered slider with a crispy potato base, cheesy filling, and savory beef topping.
Serve: Serve the sliders immediately while the potatoes are warm and the cheese is creamy for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Red pepper flakes are optional; omit for a milder flavor or increase slightly for more heat.
Use small potatoes like baby Yukon gold or red potatoes for best results and uniform slices.
Leftover sliders can be refrigerated and gently reheated in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
Feel free to add additional toppings such as chopped fresh herbs or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor variations.
