Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the potato slices in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake the potato coins in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispness.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with the shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Transfer the cheesy potato coins to a serving plate and top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and optional jalapeño slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy Tex Mex Potato Coins!
