Ingredients

• 3 to 4 large potatoes, sliced into rounds
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s fully heated and ready for baking.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes well and slice them into even rounds. Place the slices in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potato rounds are evenly coated.

3. Bake Until Crispy

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and lightly crisp around the edges.

4. Add the Toppings

Carefully remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each potato round, then top with the crumbled bacon so every bite is packed with rich, savory flavor.

5. Melt the Cheese

Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and irresistible.

6. Finish and Serve

Take the potato rounds out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Add a small dollop of sour cream on top of each one, then sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.

Tips

• Slice the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate
• Use sharp cheddar for a bolder cheese flavor
• Bake the bacon until crispy for the best texture
• Serve these potato rounds fresh from the oven for the best taste
