Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potato rounds from the oven and transfer them to an oven-safe serving platter or leave them on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato rounds.
Top the cheese with crumbled bacon, and if desired, add optional toppings like diced tomatoes and jalapeño slices.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with sour cream on the side or dolloped on top. Enjoy!
