Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the slices evenly.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the slices. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Transfer the cheesy potato slices to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions evenly over the top.
Serve the country-style appetizers warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side or as a topping.
