Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds (skin on)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions or chives
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Optional: pickled jalapeños, diced tomatoes, black olives, diced red onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Scrub potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Pat slices dry with a clean towel.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  4. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
  5. Flip each slice with tongs or a spatula, then bake another 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. While potatoes bake, cook bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain and crumble. Slice green onions or chives. Shred cheeses if needed.
  7. Once potatoes are done, arrange them close together on the baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, top with crumbled bacon and half the green onions or chives.
  9. Return tray to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes. Dollop with sour cream and scatter remaining green onions or chives.
  11. Add any additional toppings as desired and serve hot.

Notes

For vegetarian, skip bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or black beans. Use a mandoline for even potato slices. Pat potatoes dry before baking for extra crispiness. Shred your own cheese for best melt. Can be made ahead by baking potatoes and finishing with toppings before serving. Air fryer option: cook potato slices at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, then add toppings and melt cheese in oven.
