Ingredients
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks green onions
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for texture. Dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1 inch in size.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to ensure they’re evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 5
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into small pieces.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the green onions until softened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Step 7
After the potatoes have baked for 25 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sautéed green onions over the potatoes. Dot with the remaining butter.
Step 8
Evenly distribute the shredded sharp cheddar cheese across the top of the potatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on each portion for added creaminess.
