Description
Crispy baked potato slices topped with melted cheddar cheese and fresh green onions. This recipe makes an easy side dish or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced ½ inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or ranch seasoning mix
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for optional sauce)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for optional sauce)
- Pinch of salt and pepper (for optional sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush both sides of the potato slices with olive oil. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they look lightly golden.
- Take the sheet out of the oven. Sprinkle each slice with cheddar cheese and Italian seasoning.
- Put the sheet back in the oven. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Remove the slices and let them cool a little. Top with the sliced green onions.
- Serve warm with the sour cream dipping sauce, if you made it.
Notes
- For the dipping sauce: Mix sour cream or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper together.
- Russet potatoes work best for crispy edges.
- You can use ranch seasoning instead of Italian seasoning for a different flavor.
