Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup green onions
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400F and grab a large baking sheet for easy potato roasting.
- Thoroughly rinse 4 russet potatoes under cool water, then slice each potato into precise ¼-inch rounds using a sharp knife.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over potato slices in a large mixing bowl, then generously season with salt and pepper, ensuring every slice gets evenly coated.
- Spread potato rounds across your baking sheet in a single layer without overlapping, which helps each slice crisp perfectly.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400F oven and roast potato slices for exactly 25-30 minutes until edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet and immediately scatter 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup crumbled bacon across the hot potato rounds.
- Return the sheet to the 400F oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing cheese to melt completely and bacon to warm through.
- Pull from the oven and crown your creation with dollops of ½ cup sour cream and a sprinkle of ¼ cup chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispy edges.
- Use a mandoline sliffer for perfectly thin, consistent potato rounds that crisp up beautifully.
- Arrange potato slices with slight overlap to create an attractive, layered look that helps them cook evenly.
- For a vegetarian version, swap bacon for crispy mushroom bits or roasted chickpeas to maintain a satisfying crunch.
