Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges by slicing it in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on size.
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato wedges. Place the baking sheet back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the loaded potato wedges from the oven and carefully transfer them to a serving platter.
Top the cheesy potato wedges with salsa, dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapeños (if using), chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro (if desired).
Serve immediately and enjoy your Nacho Spuds!
