Description

These Potato Skin Bites are a deliciously fun twist on classic potato skins! Crispy potato rounds topped with cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions make the perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 3 Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • Kosher salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Pinch cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • Sour cream, for serving

  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ยฐF. Slice potatoes into 1/2โ€ณ coins.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato rounds in olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder, and toss until evenly coated.

  3. Place potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, flipping halfway through.

  4. Top each potato round with cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Broil for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is melty.

  5. Dollop sour cream onto each potato bite and garnish with sliced green onions.


Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can cook the potatoes a bit longer before broiling.

  • You can customize the toppings by adding other ingredients like jalapeรฑos or chives.
