Ingredients
Scale:
4 medium russet potatoes, scr믭 clean
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup green onions, chopped (optional)
¼ cup sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that beautiful crispiness that we're looking for in our Loaded Cheddar Bacon Potato Rounds.
Slice the scr믭 potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potato rounds in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Once the potato rounds are crisp, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the hot rounds. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired. Serve with sour cream on the side for dipping.
