Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture.
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they’re evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
