Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Scrub the russet potatoes clean under running water. Pat them dry with a towel.
Cut each potato into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place the potato slices in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices, then sprinkle the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the slices are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip the potato slices over and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato slices. Place them back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Transfer the hot, cheesy potato slices to a serving platter. Top with crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, green onions, and pickled jalapeño slices.
Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side or directly on top of the Oles for added creaminess. Enjoy!
