Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes thinly sliced

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon 6-8 slices

- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.3 medium russet potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.

Notes
- Servings: The calories listed are based on the ingredients in the recipe and a serving size of 1/4 of nachos. Actual calories may vary.
- Customizations: This recipe is very customizable. Try using different types of cheese and toppings based on your preference. We've listed some ideas in the post above the recipe card.
- Cutting the potatoes: The potatoes cook best when they're sliced between 1/8 and 1/4-inch thick.
- Cooking the potatoes: I prefer to skip the parchment paper and use cooking spray. The parchment paper holds onto moisture and inhibits the ability for the potatoes to crisp. However, it's an option if you'd like to use it.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and pop them in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes.
- Cook Time: Use the cook time as a guideline. I like my potatoes really crispy. You may not, so they may not take as long to bake. The cook time does not include the time it takes to prepare the bacon.
