Ingredients
4 medium potatoes, sliced into thin rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Bake until crispy: Place in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are golden and slightly crisp on the edges.
Add the toppings: Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over each slice.
Melt the cheese: Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream.
Tips for the Best Results
Slice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
For extra crispiness, soak the slices in cold water for 20 minutes, then pat dry before baking.
Try adding jalapeños or a sprinkle of paprika for a spicy twist.
These crispy, cheesy potato bites are guaranteed to disappear fast—so you might want to make a double batch!
