Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • 1 cup sliced green onions (both white and green parts)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  3. In a large bowl, combine potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the sheet pan, overlapping slightly but not stacked.
  6. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until potatoes are golden, crispy on the edges, and tender inside. Halfway through, gently shake or flip the potatoes to brown evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the crispy potatoes.
  8. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and scatter bacon bits, diced tomatoes, black olives, and jalapeños over the cheese layer.
  10. Dollop sour cream across the board.
  11. Garnish with green onions and fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.
  12. Serve hot.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy potatoes. Turn potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Use fresh shredded cheese for best melt. Bacon should be cooked separately until crisp. For dairy-free, substitute vegan cheese and sour cream. Potatoes can be sliced and seasoned up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before baking.
