Cheesy Bacon Loaded Potato Slices

Cheesy bacon loaded potato slices are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and piled high with melted cheese, smoky bacon, and classic loaded potato toppings. They’re perfect as an appetizer, game-day snack, or indulgent side dish.

Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Optional Add-Ons:
Ranch dressing drizzle
Jalapeño slices
Extra cheese blend

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat evenly.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the potato slices. Top with crumbled bacon.

Return to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with green onions before serving.

Helpful Tips:
Slice potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
For extra crispiness, broil for 1 to 2 minutes after adding cheese.
Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with ranch or sour cream on the side for dipping.
Great alongside burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken.
Perfect for parties and potlucks.
