Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup diced green onions
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup pickled jalapeño slices
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Scrub the russet potatoes clean under running water. Pat them dry with a towel.

Step 3

Cut each potato into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place the potato slices in a large bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the potato slices, then sprinkle the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the slices are evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip the potato slices over and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato slices. Place them back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Transfer the hot, cheesy potato slices to a serving platter. Top with crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, green onions, and pickled jalapeño slices.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side or directly on top of the Oles for added creaminess. Enjoy!
