Ingredients
- 4-5 russet potatoes sliced thin
- ½ stick butter melted
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup bacon cooked and chopped
- green onions sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉ and ready your baking sheet by lightly spraying it with nonstick spray.
- Thinly slice potatoes and lay them out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Brush each potato slice generously with melted butter, ensuring they're well-coated for that perfect crispy exterior.
- Season your buttered slices with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Bake the potato slices in preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until they're tender and lightly golden.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese and crispy bacon pieces over the baked potato slices, then return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is perfectly melted.
- Finish by garnishing with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of green onions for a burst of flavor and a pop of color.
Notes
- For the best results, be sure to slice your potatoes as evenly as possible so that they all cook at the same time.
- You can use a mandolin slicer for even slices or a sharp knife if you’re careful.
- When layering the potatoes in your baking dish, try to get them in a single layer or as close to a single layer as possible.
