Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add potato cubes to the bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper, then spread the coated potatoes out in an even layer.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Once the potatoes are baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes.
Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the cheesy potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Spoon the potatoes into a serving dish and dollop sour cream over the top.
Sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful and cheesy fiesta potatoes, perfect as a side dish or a snack!
