Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato rounds and toss until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping the potato rounds halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle each potato round with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Transfer the potato rounds to a serving platter. Add a small dollop of sour cream to each round and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
