Potato Slices:
- 3 russet potatoes (Scrubbed clean)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (Canola or Olive Oil work as well)
- Salt/Pepper (to taste)
Toppings:
- 2.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 6 slices bacon (uncooked)
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 green onions (diced)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take out the bacon and set it aside for 5 minutes (this makes it crispier).
- Cut the potatoes into approximately 1/2-inch slices. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops with oil. Flip and repeat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the slices on a baking sheet in the oven for 25 minutes.
- As the potatoes bake, cook the bacon over low heat. Use kitchen tongs to flip them periodically for even cooking. Set them aside once finished, leave the bacon drippings.
- Remove the potato slices from the oven and lightly brush with bacon drippings. Flip and repeat. Bake for 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, crumble the bacon.
- Decrease the heat to 350 degrees. Top the potatoes with grated cheese and crumbled bacon. Place back in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the slices from the oven. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, then top with green onions. Serve with sour cream and enjoy!
Notes
- You can customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients like jalapenos or diced tomatoes.
- Make sure to adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your potato slices.
