Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flip the slices, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the potatoes are baking, chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the tray to the oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the bacon pieces over the cheesy potato slices.
Drizzle the buffalo sauce evenly over the potato chips and top with dollops of sour cream or serve it on the side for dipping.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
