Ingredients
- 5 small potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 2 Tablespoons Johnny's Seasoning Salt or any kind of seasoning salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons chives or italian seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes well, slice into wedges and place in a large plastic bag or in a large bowl.
- Add a little oil and toss to coat then transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet with the skin side down.
- Sprinkle potatoes generously with seasoning salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes (or until cooked through and golden brown). Do not stir while cooking.
- Sprinkle on cheese and crumbled bacon and bake for 2 more minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt.
- Drizzle sour cream over the top and sprinkle with chives or italian seasoning.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use the right potatoes. Idaho russets give the best crunch, but Yukon golds work too.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese has additives that prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Homemade bacon crumbles taste better. Packaged bacon crumbles work in a pinch, but fresh bacon adds unbeatable flavor.
- Piping sour cream is a game changer! Spoon it into a sandwich bag, snip a corner, and drizzle it over the wedges for an Insta-worthy look.
- Not a sour cream fan? Try ranch dressing or even guacamole for a tasty twist!
