Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 Prise Salt
  • 1 Prise pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.5 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 0.25 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 0.25 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes, then return them to the oven for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle sour cream over the cheesy potatoes.
  7. Top with crumbled bacon, chopped chives, and sliced green onions to finish.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the loaded potatoes directly on the baking sheet for a rustic look or transfer to a large serving platter. Garnish with additional chives and a drizzle of sour cream for a beautiful finish.
