Ingredients

Scale

Potato Rounds

  • 4 medium red potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Garlic salt with parsley flakes, to taste

Toppings

  • 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Dip

  • Sour cream, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potato rounds.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into about ¼ inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking.
  3. Coat Potato Rounds: Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Toss gently until each slice is coated. Sprinkle garlic salt with parsley flakes evenly over the potato rounds.
  4. Bake Potatoes: Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to avoid sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the potato rounds, then top with shredded Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses.
  6. Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve the loaded potato rounds warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, flip the potato rounds halfway through the initial baking time.
  • You can substitute cheddar and Monterey jack with your favorite cheese blends.
  • Use turkey bacon or omit bacon for a vegetarian variation.
  • Ensure potato slices are uniform thickness for even baking.
  • Garlic salt may be adjusted according to taste preference.
