Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wedges over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces.
Slice the green onions thinly and set aside for garnish.
Once the potato wedges are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Return the potatoes to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the cheesy potato wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
Serve hot with a side of sour cream for dipping. Enjoy your Pub Spuds!
