Cheesy Potato Rounds Ro

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
3. Wash and slice the potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds. Leave the skins on for added texture.

Step 2: Season and Bake

1. Toss the potato rounds with olive oil (or melted butter), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Lay them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
3. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp around the edges.

Step 3: Add Cheese and Finish

1. Remove from the oven and sprinkle each round generously with shredded cheese.
2. Top with crumbled bacon if using.
3. Return to the oven for 5–7 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 4: Serve

1. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
2. Serve warm with a side of sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dip.

Tips for Perfect Potato Rounds

• Thin, even slices ensure all rounds cook at the same speed.
• Bake on a wire rack set over a baking sheet for even crispness (optional but helpful).
• Switch up the cheese—try mozzarella, pepper jack, or smoked gouda for a different flavor profile.

Make It Your Own

• Tex-Mex Style: Add taco seasoning and a sprinkle of jalapeños.
• Italian-Inspired: Top with mozzarella, marinara drizzle, and a touch of oregano.
• Loaded Potato Bites: Add sour cream, chives, and a dash of hot sauce before serving.
