Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake the Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and carefully flip them over. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by the crumbled bacon.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, top with chopped green onions, and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream.
