Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Salsa
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges by slicing it in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on size.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato wedges. Place the baking sheet back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove the loaded potato wedges from the oven and carefully transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Top the cheesy potato wedges with salsa, dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapeños (if using), chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro (if desired).

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Nacho Spuds!
